Hello everyone welcome back to the A16Z podcast this is stuff now one of my favorite

podcasts we've recorded since I joined the team was just about this time last year

that episode was on autonomous vehicles, but it was actually also in an

autonomous vehicle. That was my first ride in a self-driving car and over the last

year I've seen so many others have their first as Waymo has expanded to the public in Phoenix and San Francisco

while also placing its roots in Austin and LA. In 2015, Wano tested its first fully driverless ride on public roads.

It then opened the public in Phoenix in 2020, but it wasn't until 2022 that autonomous drives were offered in San Francisco.

And by the end of 2023, it clocked in over 7 million driverless miles.

Slowly than all at once.

So with this space moving so quickly, we wanted to give you an update on where

this industry is today. Passing the baton to properly introduce this episode, here is our very

own AI revolution host and A16Z general partner, Sarah Wang.
