TechCrunch Mobility: Robotaxi reality check

Waymo temporarily paused robotaxi service in several cities and on some freeway routes after issues in heavy rain, flooding, and construction zones.

The move underscores that commercial autonomous ride-hailing still has real-world reliability limits outside controlled conditions.

Separately, TechCrunch reported that SpaceX’s IPO filing lays out major transactions among Musk-led companies.

The filing points to tighter financial and operational ties between SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, and The Boring Company ahead of a possible public offering.
