Waymo is still mapping San Antonio and plans to launch after the first of the year. We can\u2019t wait for their service to go live. They already operate in Austin with Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio on the horizon. Unlike Boston conventional and autonomous rideshare has been embraced in Texas. Conventional rideshare services like Lyft and Uber can operate anywhere in the state. Perhaps in time after Waymo and others build up a successful track record the same protections could be extended to autonomous rideshare services.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>When Lyft and Uber began operations they received pushback from various communities until the Texas State Legislature stepped in to protect their ability to operate state-wide. It would be great if such legislation passed at the federal level to insure that conventional and autonomous rideshare services could operate nation-wide. Take care and have a happy Thanksgiving.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Peter Donahue<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> AutonomousVehicles <autonomousvehicles-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Cornelius Butler via AutonomousVehicles<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, November 23, 2025 12:45 PM<br><b>To:</b> autonomous Vehicles sDiscussion <autonomousvehicles@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Cornelius Butler <corn@butlernewmedia.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AutonomousVehicles] Have You Had Your Autonomous Vehicle Experience?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>Hi Peter,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>How are you?
