    Personal news: I'm now transportation editor at @techcrunch. The title comes w/ a mission to expand our coverage. I'm looking for freelancers, inc. a daily beat reporter. Passionate about tech, startups and transportation (EVs, AVs, micro and in-car tech)? My DMs are open.

    I do love that this response completely ignores the fact that people have paid thousands of dollars for a product that they must then be invited to test

    10.69 is in limited release for a reason. Please do not ask to be included in early beta releases and then complain.

    Exciting professional news! @techcrunch is lucky to have hired @sokane1 as senior transportation reporter. I’ve followed Sean’s career for a long time (verge/ Bloomberg) & I can’t wait to see all the amazing scoops and reporting he will do here! Which reminds me, send him tips 🤓

    "Feature complete" makes its debut in the earnings call. And we get a definition from elon "Feature complete just means like it has some chance of going from your home to work with no interventions. So that's, doesn't mean features are working well." via elon

    Big news from @waymo today. They're the first company to get a permit to test driverless vehicles (sans human test driver) in California. The map shows where they plan to start.
