Welcome to the Waymo World Cup

Welcome to the Waymo World Cup

Published by skeptic

Waymo, the Alphabet subsidiary offering robotaxi rides in 11 US metros right now, says it’s ready for the FIFA World Cup. Match attendees can catch driverless rides to six of the 16 North American venues: stadiums in Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The sprawling football event, expected to attract some 6.5 million visitors to the continent over more than a month, could prove an exciting close-up for Waymo. The company says it’s serving half-a-million paid rides a week—paltry stuff compared to the likes of ride-hail giants Uber and Lyft, but more impressive once you remember that the things don’t have drivers. Waymo has plans to offer service in 20 more markets this year alone, with international expansions in London and Tokyo on the horizon. Meanwhile, the Waymo app is available in app stores in 13 countries, including Germany, Great Britain, India, and Japan, and in 15 different languages. For travelers who haven’t yet ridden robotaxis in China, this event likely marks their first opportunity to ride driverlessly. The World …

How Mexican World Cup Stadiums Achieved FIFA’s Environmental Certifications

How Mexican World Cup Stadiums Achieved FIFA’s Environmental Certifications

BBVA Stadium also transformed daily practices such as waste management. The challenge was not only to separate waste, but also to ensure that all suppliers for everything from food to cleaning products operate under sustainable criteria. Club de Futbol Monterrey began incorporating environmental conditions into its vendor contracts, from recyclable packaging to reusable or compostable products. “We even ask them for documents indicating the final destination of waste,” says Molina. The stadium has eliminated around 90 percent of its PET plastic during matches, through soft drink dispensing machines and the use of reusable cups. As for water, it increased the number of meters from 6 to 20, and fine-tuned irrigation with predictive analysis to define when and how much to irrigate. That efficiency is helpful, but large volumes of water are still required. The official regulations of this year’s World Cup require that the matches be played on natural grass, as it is considered to offer better conditions for player performance. And the watering is done with potable water rather than treated water. Ever since …

Trump’s Border Crackdown Is Wreaking Havoc on the World Cup

Trump’s Border Crackdown Is Wreaking Havoc on the World Cup

Published by skeptic

Even before the first whistle blows, the 2026 World Cup—taking place from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico—already has winners and losers away from the field. Specifically, at the border, at passport control, in consular offices, and at US airports. Here, amidst denied visas, prolonged checks, and contested entries, a parallel competition is emerging where human rights are at stake. This World Cup was meant to be a global celebration of soccer in North America. For the first time in history, the tournament is being held in three different countries, a move meant to unite the entire continent and turn the World Cup into an even more inclusive event. But restrictions imposed by President Donald Trump’s administration are impeding those goals. Players, managers, and referees are coming up against some harsh realities even before they take the field. Currently, 39 countries face full or partial US travel bans, and four of them—Haiti, Iran, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire are set to play in the World Cup. So far, incidents involving …

Published by Daniella Wilson

USA begin their World Cup campaign in the early hours of Saturday morning as they face Paraguay in Los Angeles, California. The co-hosts qualified for the World Cup automatically and have appeared in eight of the last nine tournaments. They actually finished third in the first-ever World Cup in 1930, but their next best finish came in 2002 as USA reached the quarter-finals. Mauricio Pochettino is now in charge and he’ll be confident of getting out of Group D given their opposition is Paraguay, Australia and Turkey. Paraguay missed out on the last three World Cups after failing to qualify but when they last featured at a tournament, they reached the quarter-finals in South Africa in 2010. The South American side, who finished level on points with Brazil and Uruguay in World Cup qualifying, look to be in a straight shootout with Turkey to finish second behind USA in Group D. Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch USA v Paraguay on TV and online. Read more football …
