In a July statement Musk said that Robotaxi would reach "half the U.S. population by the end of 2025". That was recently revised to "8-10 U.S. metro areas". With two months to go Tesla has not applied to operate in any metro area other than the launch in Austin where it's operating with human monitoring and teleoperation. In that market Tesla Robotaxi crashes at a rate of about once every 62,500 miles. Waymo's (no monitor/no teleoperation) rate is one every 98,600 miles.

Thanks to tax breaks, low interest, insufficient construction, and lots of labor immigration, home prices in the Netherlands are increasing at 8% per year.
That way, Dutch home owners (60% of them over 55) are amassing another €170 billion in wealth this year alone.
To put budgets in perspective.

Less dense housing = more polluting populations
