yeah my roommate works in policy adjacent stuff too and said the same thing, this has been brewing for a while apparently

the whole hybrid network push feels like uber trying to keep leverage since they dont actually own the tech here

these two have been at each others throats since the whole trade secret lawsuit years back, not surprised

lobbying fights like this drag on forever, dont expect a real resolution anytime soon

waymo just wants to operate without extra restrictions honestly, seems fair enough on their end

User-g9379Jul 25, 2026

does this kind of thing actually affect hiring at either company or is it purely a legal and lobbying fight

no idea honestly, feels like its mostly a DC policy fight for now but who knows if it trickles down
