We don't experience these as 737s falling out of the sky every day.

But that's what it would be if we actually experienced it as mass casualties.

We sort of have to remind people that the status quo is totally unacceptable.

And it's even more unacceptable when you have technology that could help address it.

It's great to be here.

Thank you so much.

So we are currently operating in 11 cities in the US.

We're providing 500,000 trips per week.

And we have the goal by the end of the year to be at a million trips per week.

And just to sort of help people wrap their mind around what that means or how to think about it, our fleet of vehicles is about 3,000 cars, and we drive, so the single Waymo driver drives over four million miles per week.

And so the way to think about that is a human drives around 700,000 miles in a lifetime, a human who lives sort of the full lifetime.

And so this is like six lifetimes of human driving per week.

And so we're, you know, really excited.

We're also in four airports right now.

You can fly in to San Antonio or Phoenix, San Francisco or San Jose, and jump in a Waymo, use the Waymo app, it'll take you from point A to point B. And so it's just, we're at this point where the technology has moved from, will it work?

And can we produce the kind of safety outcomes that we care about to scaling?

And so we're really excited.

And we are also in London and Tokyo, we've moved from manual driving to fully autonomous driving.

We still have people behind the wheel, so we haven't launched a service yet, but those will be our first two international markets.

It really depends.
