        Where do they operate in Texas? I go all over the state regularly, but I don’t usually go to the downtown areas where I would probably encounter one.

          Downtown Austin. I bet if they leave SF, they’ll move their entire fleet to Austin, which is terrible news.

            Now I’m imagining a giant caravan of self driving cars going down the interstate. Known how well they perform, we’ll see them either blocking the left lane, or all lanes.
