About this episode
2026 was supposed to be a breakout year for self-driving taxis. Instead, WSJ reporter Sean McLain says, they're getting a crash course in public backlash. We break down the resistance robotaxi operators are facing from the public — and what it could mean for the technology’s timeline. Then, you might be tempted to mess with the people behind those pesky spam texts. But WSJ contributor Heidi Mitchell warns, it could actually make you a bigger target. Imani Moise hosts.
