Exactly.

And now any city I go to, Los Angeles, San Francisco, it's just like, yes, they have Waymo there.

I'm firing that up.

That has absolutely stuck with me.

There is a story in the book, though, where, like, we did almost get in an accident.

And some of it, like, caused because I had hired a videographer to shoot video of our car, of the Waymo.

And he was – he wasn't hanging out.

Like, it wasn't like he was doing a major stunt.

But, you know, if you're filming a video, you kind of shoot your –

put your camera out the front of the window.

So he's in front of the actual Waymo in a car that's being driven by somebody else.

And the Waymo freaks out.

It's like, what is this thing?

It looks like it's a body hanging out a window and it swerves off to the right.

And there wasn't actually like a shoulder for it to swerve off on.

So like cars start honking and going around.

And it was just an example to me of like that these are machines that are driving.

And they have far more eyes and sensors than humans.

But sometimes they see things that like –

that they've never seen before.
