"7 Driverless Vehicle Stocks That Could Set You Up for Life" reports @DanielMillerTMF writing for The Motley Fool: aol.com/articles/7-driverles…. I'm no stock picker, but these recommendations look reasonable as investments for "the end of driving" that is a likely future scenario.
This point is covered in my forthcoming book The End of Driving, available worldwide via Amazon: amazon.com/End-Driving-Trans… Co-authored with @AndrewMillerYYZ and @BernGrush .

Good news! "Waymo approved to start autonomous vehicle testing in New York City" techcrunch.com/2025/08/22/wa… This @techcrunch headline substitutes a misleading, commonly used, strong word "autonomous" for "automated." The connotation of "autonomous" applied to machines creates fear.

Parents need to train their children to understand the nasty reality you describe, and to behave when crossing streets in a self-protective, highly aware stance. Same when walking in car parking lots. Oh, and walking on ped-bike paths shared with fast, quiet, electric bikes.

📍 I'm in Detroit! What better way to explore the city than being chauffeured by @wayve_ai. We drove through Motor City around Detroit’s landmarks — of course including Lafayette Coney Island 🌭

Super cool to finally be publicly showing a bit more of the experience we've been working on! 🥳
Our Zoox Explorers program is open in Las Vegas! For a limited time, experience a sneak peek of our robotaxi at @ResortsWorldLV. It's fun, free (for now), and waiting to take you for a ride. ✨
