Waymo driverless cars are now operating in Philly—same Jaguar models swarming Los Angele, last couple years.

Remember, Waymo cooperates fully with I.C.E., providing GPS and multimedia info without even requiring a warrant from a judge.

🚗🤖 Oh joy! #Dallas is now blessed with robot chauffeurs for the masses, as if the world needed more techno-wizardry to hail a ride to the local grocery store. 🛒🎉 With nearly 150,000 passengers already enchanted by Waymo's "magic," locals can finally experience the thrill of going from point A to B with all the excitement of a toaster on wheels. 🙄✨

"This time, however, she opted to call a #Lyft rather than a #Waymo.

'The Waymo freaked me out and was more expensive,' she told the Daily Mail.

The Waymo cost the New Yorker $30.26 with no tip for a 1.62-mile trip, while the Lyft cost her $18.59 for a 2.9-mile journey, including a tip for the human driver. "

Oh, now I get it! Waymo is supposed to mean "[It costs] *way mo*re" 🤯

San Francisco has become a corporate laboratory where AI isn't just assisting—it's replacing human judgment entirely. The Luna Store and #Waymo trials are conditioning us to accept algorithmic feudalism as innovation, while humans remain reduced to error-correction clerks under #SurveillanceCapitalism. The oligarchy's endgame is total subjugation under code.

Weekly output: Google features for Samsung’s new foldables, wireless-network assessments, the Nats’ zombie cryptocurrency sponsorship, Waymo safety, Starship flight 13

Mowing the lawn Saturday reminded me that my yard is once again starting to look its worst, between the heat and occasional dry stretches and weeds starting to get away from me. But when it’s that hot outside (the last few days being a blessed exception), my interest in doing yardwork also nears a seasonal low.

7/22/2026: Google Tips More Full-Fledged Gemini Intelligence for Samsung’s New Foldables, PCMag

My small part of PCMag’s coverage of Samsung’s Unpacked product event was covering Google’s announcement of some new Android features for the Korean tech giant’s latest foldable phones.

7/22/2026: Which US Wireless Carrier Is Best? 3 Recent Reports Crown Different Winners, PCMag

I had missed a chance to cover RootMetrics’ latest report a week and a half ago, but having two other wireless-network assessments drop Wednesday morning allowed me to write up all three and explain how different testing methodologies can yield different results.

7/23/2026: The Washington Nationals Are Stuck With a Zombie Crypto Sponsorship, Washingtonian

A little more than 14 years after my first piece in my city’s glossy mag, I sold a second piece to the publication. This one allowed me to tap into my interest in two otherwise-unrelated items: the fan experience at Nationals Park and cryptocurrency-startup meltdowns.

7/24/2026: How Safe Is Your Waymo? Report Finds They Crash 68% Less Than Human Drivers, PCMag

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent, respected observer of auto safety in the U.S., so its report of Waymo crash rates was well worth reading–both for the observations the study authors could draw from the data available and those that they could not.

7/24/2026: Starship’s 13th Test Flight Ends With a Lucky Splashdown, PCMag

Dinner was late Friday on account of my watching Starship’s launch, brief suborbital journey and then improbable survival of a soft landing in the Indian Ocean. From the test milestones achieved on this launch, it looks like SpaceX should be able to put Starship into orbit on its next test flight–which would be close to three and a half years after this giant rocket’s first launch.

Well, bummer. I was hoping #Waymo would be rolled out in St. Louis before I made it there for convention, but sadly it is not.

Weekly output: Waze updates, Google Images turns 25, Samsung turns to more titanium, Frontier Airlines + Starlink, bill to ban Chinese cars

This week may have featured an unwanted import of smoky, hazy air from Canadian wildfires, but at least that miasma did not descend on the District until Friday–the day after I got to the one Fort Reno concert I’m likely to be able to see this summer.

Patreon readers got a bonus post assessing when I’m likely to need to replace my three oldest computers–and explaining why the oldest machine is not at the front of that list.

7/13/2026: Waze Gets AI, Personalization Options—Including One to Make It Less Chatty, PCMag

I have to admit that I had not used Waze in quite some time, so I downloaded a copy to refresh my memory. I’m glad I did, as this exercise reminded that Waze has yet to match Google’s ability to show which routing will be most efficient.

7/14/2026: Google Images Marks Its 25 Birthday by Adding AI Image Generation, PCMag

This was another Google item from an embargoed announcement. It was going to be an unusually short post, but then I realized that Google’s anniversary post didn’t mention the date the company launched Google Images. Some quick Googling surfaced a New York Times story apparently written on that day, July 12, 2001.

7/14/2026: Samsung Teases New Screen Substrate for Its Next Foldable: Titanium, PCMag

One of my editors asked if I could pick up this announcement; since I try to be the guy who solves problems for my editors and since I rarely get to cover metallurgical topics, I said I would.

7/15/2026: Frontier Airlines Is Adding Starlink, But You Might Have to Pay for It, PCMag

I was going to write this Tuesday but had to set it aside for the Samsung news. But that delay gave me some extra time to send a further round of questions to Frontier’s PR office about their weird unwillingness to say what the service will cost (if an ultra-low-cost carrier that literally has “ULCC” as its stock ticker doesn’t say upfront that a service is free, it’s not going to be free) and whether they would finally add power outlets (apparently not).

7/18/2026: Bill Would Ban Chinese Connected Cars in the US—From Sale and on the Streets, PCMag

I could have written this post in fewer words if I hadn’t gotten into how Congress has done nothing to address people’s privacy concerns about non-Chinese connected cars, but I wasn’t going to do that. I will not stop reminding readers about how Congress keeps failing to pass any sort of comprehensive privacy legislation.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) calls purveyors of automated vehicles aka RoboTaxis to report to the Principle's office!

"To state it bluntly: An AV that cannot safely interact with first responders is a danger to the general public."

Letter from NHTSA Administroier Morrison to the companies "We expect you to prioritize first responder interactions and will schedule meetings with driverless automated driving system developers by month's end to hear your solutions".
