But a delayed decision from a state regulatory agency is now slowing Alphabet’s subsidiary Waymo, the US leader in driverless robotaxi service. The holdup means that Waymo isn’t yet allowed to expand into parts of Northern and Southern California.

Anna Maxwell Martin is chilling as Raskova in Star CityApple TV What does the state of sci-fi TV in the first half of 2026 tell us? To be honest, things could be better. Only one series has been an unalloyed pleasure. This may seem an odd way to describe Star City, a grim alternate-history thriller about the Soviet space programme, in which its characters duck KGB interrogators and endure near-fatal space accidents. More anon. There were brilliant moments in other series, too – they just came with a little more baggage. Typifying this was Fallout, which, as the New Year…
