While I will still do my year in review later this month, most of it will be based on this week which featured:

1. AutoX no-driver service in Shenzen
2. Waymo opening up taxi service to the general public near Phoenix
3. Cruise does first test rides with no safety driver in San Francisco
4. Aurora merging with/acquiring Uber’s ATG self-driving unit>
5. Some no-driver tests by Baidu
6. The early reveal of the Zoox custom robotaxi

The robocar winter is over, if it ever existed. The Waymo and Cruise stories are new and were not posted on the blog before, read them over at Forbes.com
