Like people were able to hail rides from SFO, from San Jose Airport.
People were able to get to and from the Levi's Stadium.
You know, we obviously did a lot of fun activations with influencers.
But it's just a reminder that people are using the Waymo service in everyday errands, doctor's appointments, you know, getting kids to practice in big life moments, weddings, picking up a child from daycare, having a baby.
You know, going to the hospital pregnant, coming home from the hospital with a newborn, and then these large cultural moments.
And so we've had a number of them, obviously.
We started the month with the Grammys.
We had a host of activations there.
Then the Super Bowl.
And then, of course, we have the All-Star Weekend coming in Los Angeles.
And so we're just finding this intersection of everyday life.
And then real enthusiasm, because a lot of people came to the Bay Area for the Super Bowl and were not in their city.
And it's the thing they had heard from their friends in the area.
You have to check out Waymo.
And so we saw so many downloads and so many happy riders while they were here.
You know, we are just laser focused on execution, you know, building Waymo to be financially responsible, operationally excellent, and then make sure we maintain the safety culture.
Like that's what we're really focused on.
Having this vote of confidence, as you said, not only from Alphabet, but from our three co-leads from this round and from all of the new investors who decided to join our cap table and the existing ones who doubled down on their belief that this is the right
opportunity to fund.
And so we just feel humbled.
