Happy Saturday from the USA TODAY Cars team!

I'm Charles Singh and I report on automotive news, conduct vehicle reviews and write consumer advice for USA TODAY.

Do you trust self-driving cars? They appear here to stay

When it comes to self-driving technology, Pandora's box has already been opened. Whether we like it or not, some of the largest cities (with the densest populations) in the country already have autonomous robotaxis shuttling riders to destinations.

Waymo, Zoox and Tesla are all operating autonomous robotaxi services that feature self-driving cars without human drivers. Waymo vehicles are already responsible for millions of paid trips despite operating a commercial fleet of under 4,000 models in 2026.

Some of the many major metropolitan areas where robotaxi rideshare services are currently active include the San Francisco Bay area, Miami and Orlando, Los Angeles and Austin. This week we published a story on Tesla mapping out areas just outside of New York City in Cybercabs operated by drivers.

I tested Zoox's robotaxi service in Las Vegas and found the experience to be surprisingly comfortable and convenient. Their robotaxi has a very specific design that features massive glass carriage-like doors, and it felt safe through the duration of my ride.

Take a spin through this week in cars

This week, the Trump administration criticized Ford's relationship with foreign suppliers including China.
Automotive Reporter Keith Laing and I compared the Subaru Outback and Volkswagen Tiguan, two new family SUVs we recently tested.
Jeep issued a massive recall (over 201,000 vehicles) for several popular models, including the Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer.
I tested the 2026 GMC Terrain compact SUV for a week and found it to be comfortable and classy.
Two Chrysler employees share why they've worked for the company for 60 years.
Keith Laing reflects on his experience driving both gas and hybrid versions of the popular 2027 Kia Telluride SUV.

You take the wheel

We're working on a story about the current state of the robotaxi rideshare space, and we want your input.

Do you trust self-driving cars? Have you had an experience with an autonomous vehicle, and if so, how was it? How do you feel about the continued expansion of them?

We want to hear from you!

Contact me to share your take on self-driving cars and autonomous rideshare vehicles at CSingh@Gannett.com.
