Really enjoying working with these two new metrics for our support and education programs. And a little embarrassed that it took me 15 years to quantify those programs in a way that I think really matters.

Don’t do this: In product management interviews, I often ask candidates to describe a product that exemplifies world-class execution. A frequent response I get is "Spotify." This is akin to me asking for an example of world-class coffee, and someone responding with…
Finally got a home espresso machine! The Breville Barista Touch, well reviewed and I think a decent compromise between automated and manual machines. The output is finally beginning to taste a bit more like espresso than just small coffee, but as you might expect I am WIRED 😂☕
@emerywells i think these are all true, the one thing i would add to #5 is that intuition alone isn’t sufficient either, and placing intuition and research as opposing forces is a missed opportunity. i prefer: “hone your intuition through customer context and apply your intuition”
I built and sold Frame.io for $1.3 billion to Adobe, and along the way, I received plenty of advice that turned out to be entirely off the mark. Here's a look at some of the most glaring misdirections: 1. "As CEO, focus on executive business tasks." This couldn't…
I've been working at Waymo for over 15 years. I only took my first Rider Only (totally driverless) ride on public roads 2 years ago, and now I'm taking it multiple times a week, as are my wife and kids. Totally understandable if people got skeptical, but it's real!
Self-driving cars have become underhyped, with Waymo operating an actual functioning taxi service most people don’t seem to know exists that is expanding into two new significant markets. slowboring.com/p/self-driving…
Was just in LA and used the @Waymo Driver to get around our 50+ sq mi territory from Downtown to Santa Monica. I always love checking out the latest version of our product in different cities. Excited to see our LA service grow this year!
My neighborhood in SF, except for my block, is always thick with humanless Waymo vehicles. In tonight's rush hour I saw my first humanless Waymo on a highway, on 101, driving north to the city around the 280 interchange. I first took a ride in autonomous mode in a Waymo (then…
The craziest part of sitting in a #Waymo isn't that it drives itself, maps every detail down to a dog's tail, or swerves with supreme confidence. It's how quickly you get used to it. Mind is blown for 5mins, then you just forget about it driving itself Under-hyped!
@kelseyhightower I think they are the future, but they aren’t selling the right vision. The cars should be designed as mobile offices, social spaces. Not the traditional car experience.
@stephen_r_moore That's a good point and suggestion for the product team. I believe we are watching an MVP come to market, what you suggest is a great next step.
@Brent_Ritchie I believe there is too much hype around all of these stuff and we should allow time for the right approach to emerge.
@kelseyhightower That valuation would be Waymo money 💰 (Apologies in advance for that bad joke :) )
Followed a @Waymo @Jaguar #i-Pace in @Koreatown in LA today. I was SHOCKED how well it drove. The best part? This I-Pace used its turn signal at each lane change. OUTSTANDING!
That was my very awesome first @Waymo ride! Rode with @Thalolabs founder @bhermalyn who helped build much of the onboard tech! Mostly uneventful, but a couple rush hour left turns had us head-swivelin! 😅
perhaps the ultimate superpower for leading a project or company at scale: having a compass for what REALLY matters (amidst a cacophony of industry noise, FOMO, sunk costs, temptations to satisfy people at expense of strategy) and allocating resources and minutes accordingly.
