I used Waymo about 10 times in Austin - it was great. I wish they'd accelerate the rollout to other cities. I wonder what the major technical hurdles are for launching in a new city?

Well, recently in Austin Waymo cars blocked emergency services during a mass shooting event.

That may be causing other cities some caution.
