Waymo reached an enormous milestone right this moment. It handed 20 million passenger journeys.

On delinquent media website X (the place Waymo likes to make this sort of announcement), the corporate wrote:

“20 million. That’s what number of instances you’ve trusted Waymo to get you the place you’re going.

“Right now, we’ve formally surpassed 20 million totally autonomous journeys with public riders! Thanks to everybody who helped make this a actuality.”

I’ve to confess that I used to be stunned to see that Waymo has reached 20 million passenger journeys — or something near that quantity. It might really feel like the corporate is taking a very long time to scale up, however it’s definitely been accelerating these days.

Waymo reached 10 million passenger journeys simply in Might. It had doubled from 5 million in simply 5 months to achieve that milestone. This time round, the doubling took 7 months, however that can be astounding. It took 5 months earlier within the yr so as to add 5 million passenger rides, and now it’s taken 7 months  so as to add one other 10 million.

Fairly spectacular.
