They've gotten airbags and seat belts and all of these things as a result of a lot of deaths.

But what hasn't gotten safer is the human.

And so we decided we're patching around the problem.

Actually, the way to make sure that this multi-ton vehicle is not as dangerous is to actually let humans be humans.

Be distracted, make your phone call, do the thing you want to be doing, let the Waymo driver get you from point A to point B. And so when you ask me about competition, I think there are a host of companies that are in the level two-plus and level three

They need an attentive human after inviting the human to be inattentive, to be the most attentive at the moment when being most attentive is least convenient.

And so that to me is not, that is still patching around the problem.

Doesn't mean it won't result in safer driving when you are attentive, but it isn't actually level four autonomy.

Yeah, we've partnered from the early days with Transit.

We think it's a really interesting way to take some of the congestion out of the city, have sort of the kiss-and-ride from the suburbs in, have people take Waymo rides.

We've gotten really favorable sort of reviews in the reports that have been done there.

We've also partnered with people who take

public transit in LA.

You know, we've offered discounts if you do public transit to a Waymo or vice versa.

You know, we want to think about the ways that this could become part of that fabric, because we think it's important that this is also very accessible to a lot of people.

So that's one.

But when we think about 10 to 15 years from now, it's really fun to think about parts of cities

that would get recaptured.

You know, space right now where cars are just sitting all day.

People are at work, the cars are just sitting.
