It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

My hunch is that external links have been getting rarer because website editors want to keep people's attention for themselves. I've been looking for a study showing this but I couldn't find one. Number of links from one domain to another divided by the number of domains. Year over year.
