Waymo Hits NYC Streets - Beating Tesla

Waymo is sending its self-driving cars into the heart of New York City, not to launch a robotaxi service yet, but to start mapping the chaos. In this episode, we break down why Alphabet’s AV division is quietly testing in Manhattan, what this move says about its long-term strategy, and how NYC’s strict rules could shape the future of autonomous vehicles. We dig into the permit details, regulatory hurdles, and why this data grab matters even without driverless rides on the table.
