Toyota just announced a partnership with Waymo to build autonomous self-driving bZ4X electric cars in Japan starting in 2027, DIY and car review with Scotty Kilmer. Even if you never ride in a robotaxi, Toyota plans to feed Waymo's AI, sensor architecture, and Woven software directly into everyday consumer cars like the Corolla and Camry. I'll explain why packing regular cars with LiDAR, radar, and liquid-cooled computers turns a simple $400 bumper scrape into a $6,000 dealership repair nightmare that sends everyone's auto insurance rates skyrocketing. Plus, we'll look at how dealerships trap buyers with fine-print "lifetime warranties" and why Toyota shouldn't abandon its legendary Kaizen reliability and proven 50+ MPG hybrids for overcomplicated electric experiments. Car advice and DIY car repair with Scotty Kilmer, an auto mechanic for the last 57 years.
