I loved joining Maynard Holt and the team at Veriten for their C.O.B. Tuesday podcast this week. We had the chance to discuss some exciting questions about federal energy policy facing the next Congress and Administration. Always love to spend time debating these important issues with my Cornerstone Government Affairs colleagues, Jack Belcher and John Sandell. https://lnkd.in/ehvt9qsn

Excited to officially welcome our client Waymo to Atlanta!
At Waymo, our mission is to be the world’s most trusted driver. We’re excited to launch our expanded network and operations partnership with Uber in Austin and Atlanta to bring the benefits of fully autonomous driving to more riders. It’s been great to hear the positive feedback from our Waymo One riders so far, and we look forward to bringing the comfort, convenience, and safety of the Waymo Driver to these cities in partnership with Uber. As we scale a new way forward in mobility, we are focused on making roads safer, improving independence, and increasing access to mobility options. At the same time, we’re creating an ecosystem of autonomous vehicle (AV) industry partners - both established and new - who are helping make fully autonomous driving technology a reality for even more people. They include network and operations partners like Uber; integration partners like Magna; charging infrastructure partners; fleet maintenance partners; fully-electric automotive partners like Jaguar Land Rover; research partners like SwissRe; and community partners like Lighthouse for the Blind, BikeLA, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. We’re excited to continue to build this AV partnership ecosystem to support our growing Waymo One service, increase adoption of the Waymo Driver, and redefine mobility for riders. With 15 years of experience in our rearview, we’re entering an exciting commercial growth phase for Waymo. We’re incredibly proud to serve +100K rides each week to people across San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles, and have served over 2 million paid fully autonomous rides to date. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait for what’s to come. https://lnkd.in/gpFhbxXK
