If Alphabet/Waymo leadership were more theatrical... I wonder if the Tesla event delay could have given them time to expand 3 miles up the 101, across the Cahuenga Pass, so they could offer fully-autonomous Waymo rides through LA traffic to and from Musk's WB lot Tesla demo.

though it's not at all their style. And realistically I'm glad they're being methodical and prioritizing safety.

I heard it speculated that maybe Tesla chose that location for their event specifically because it was outside of the Waymo area and they didn’t want a bunch of journalists showing up in Waymos to the Tesla robotaxi event.
