    ‘Your City Could Be Better’: Who Controls Austin’s Autonomous Vehicles?

    Why are there so many Waymos in Austin? As it turns out, Texas law governing autonomous vehicles (AVs) supersedes city authority and prevents any local government from regulating AVs, creating areas that have become increasingly attractive to AV companies. Miles Bloxson joins Your City Could Better to talk about if this loose regulation is good for Texas, particularly its dense capital city, whether local benefit is a priority for manufacturers at all, and how other U.S. cities can learn from Austin if a similar influx hits their streets. Mentioned on the show: City Cast Austin’s episode on AV regulation: https://austin.citycast.fm/podcasts/are-texas-schools-using-ai-to-ban-books-plus-driverless-cars-in-austin-and-new-michelin-stars  Waymo blocking emergency response to Austin shooting: https://www.axios.com/local/austin/2026/03/02/waymo-vehicle-blocks-ems-austin-mass-shooting  The city of Austin’s public dashboard tracking incidents involving AVs: https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/dbd59d9b20634de1afad32a8267b739b# Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?

The life you want starts coming toward you when you keep showing up, serve other people and do the work on the inside. In this solo milestone episode, Lewis looks back on the road from an iPhone in his living room to a show heard in more than 100 countries. He shares the four lessons 2,000 conversations taught him about building a life that pulls your dreams toward you. They cover consistency, service, knowing who you’re building for and the inner work that lets good things stay. It’s a journey that started with a first grader who wrote a poem about hating school and grew up to build a school of his own. The dreams worth having don’t come from chasing harder. They come from who you become by showing up week after week.
