The move comes just two days after Uber and Waymo launched a commercial robotaxi service in the city. Serve, which spun out of Uber in 2021 before braving the public markets last year, is one of 18 autonomous vehicle companies that Uber has partnered with to get a first-mover advantage on the consumer-facing side of autonomy.

Now that I live in a house, though, I have a couple of new surfaces to worry about.
