Detroit, Las Vegas, Nashville, San Diego, and Washington, D.C., are just a few of the cities the company plans to bring its robotaxi to in the coming months. But as I have argued in this newsletter before, there is another \u201cexpansion\u201d I think is more important.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freeways.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now after years of testing and development, the company\u2019s commercial robotaxi service is using freeways around the San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, and Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a critical expansion for the company. It\u2019s the concrete and asphalt connective tissue in sprawling metro areas like the Bay Area. This new freeway access is fueling Waymo\u2019s expansion in that region, which is now 260 square miles and encompasses Silicon Valley and San Francisco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robotaxi rides can have more efficient routes too. Waymo told me it will reduce ride times by up to 50%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And using freeways is also essential for Waymo to offer rides to and from the San Francisco Airport, a location the company is currently testing in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 13-15, 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That freeway-to-airport moment will be the big unlock for Waymo. But will it be enough to help push it in the black? Until someone over there slides me their balance sheet, I can\u2019t say. It will certainly be a popular option for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ers.

Mergers with special acquisition companies may not be officially \u201cback,\u201d but they are certainly popular among autonomous vehicle companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Einride<\/strong>, the Swedish electric and autonomous truck startup, plans to go public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, just six weeks after it raised $100 million from investors. The SPAC merger with Legato Merger Corp. values Einride at $1.8 billion in pre-money equity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Einride does generate revenue, which may sound obvious but there have been plenty of pre-revenue transportation companies that have SPAC\u2019d in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, its primary source of revenue is coming from its software-as-a-service product and a fleet of 200 heavy-duty electric trucks used by companies like Heineken and PepsiCo. Its unusual-looking autonomous podlike trucks are still in pilot mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The merger is expected to close in the first half of 2026, with Einride making its debut on the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other deals that got my attention this week \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Forterra<\/strong>, a company developing autonomous tech for defense, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forterra.com\/posts\/forterra-closes-238-million-series-c-cementing-leadership-in-autonomy-and-interoperable-systems\">raised $238 million<\/a> in equity and debt funding.
