The Road to Autonomy Index, powered by AI, tracks actual paid rides, vehicle fleets, and profitability without safety drivers. While Waymo dominates with hundreds of thousands of weekly trips, Chinese players are scaling rapidly across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, proving the future of autonomous rides is global—and accelerating faster than expected. Tesla, ranked fifth, faces regulatory delays despite recent Texas growth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
