If you drive south to Geneva, stop by to say hello! We have chocolate, banks and useless knives here, you'll have fun.
I think EVs sales have turned strong since 2023 in the Netherlands (BEV, PHEV, FCEV) no ? 1/3 of light vehicles or so

Had my first experience of a Waymo, in Phoenix, last week. Slightly depressing as I wanted to talk to the driver as I usually do. And it does insist on dropping you off where it sees fit, i.e. not directly in front of your hotel. 

The experience will be much nicer when the vehicle isn't just an ordinary car. At the moment it has a steering wheel and a driver's seat pushed forward. Give it four seats, with a choice of direction for the front two seats. At the very least, have the ability to change the music!!!
