 * Is the car operating in autonomous mode at that time? The best EV composition would have nobody in the driver's seat and some motion blur in the background. Reserving judgement for now. MER-C 10:55, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment – As I understand it, it's illegal to operate an autonomous car without a driver in California; these are neighborhood-scale vehicles, so they max out at 25 mph, in practice usually much less, and I don't believe that these cars had a non-autonomous mode. (They had no steering wheel or other in-car controls.) grendel&#124;khan 17:23, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment – The Waymo article strikes me as overlong (nearly 3,000 words) and semi-promotional in places, and this image doesn't seem to say much beyond "here's the product." Sca (talk) 14:35, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - The white balance (seems a tad dark, or perhaps it's that it was too bright and the highlights were taken way down) and bottom crop don't seem ideal. Not sure how much of that can be helped, and perhaps it's not a good idea since it's already a QI and VI on Commons... &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 05:04, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
