Is Detroit the first Waymo city that sees more than a negligible amount of snow? It will be interesting to see Waymos snowy road debut.

Waymo was doing tests in NYC earlier this fall but it looks like there are legal difficulties to getting actual approval in New York: https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/09/waymo-driverless-cars-nyc...

not that I'm complaining, but you'd think the capital of the big3 atuomakers would have put up a bigger fight than NYC

Does anyone know when the Geely Zeeker and Hyundai Ioniq5 will be ready? I know the Zeeker is doing road testing already. I’m not sure if the ioniq5 is doing road testing yet. With all of these new cities being announced they must be getting close.

Lol I hope google using the ioniq5 will get the whole iccu issue some attention.

Yes! Very excited, anyone know when it's coming to Portland and Seattle?

Seattle, at least, already has Waymo cars in the "human-driven data gathering" mode that this article is announcing.

Do Waymo cars have different "personalities" in different cities? It occurred to me that drives in different places drive differently and maybe the cars adapt.

I have noticed them change driving style over time in SF, so I would imagine they would adjust to a city over time as well

Yes, it's trained in part on local driver data
