  • ‘Your City Could Be Better’: Who Controls Austin’s Autonomous Vehicles?

    ‘Your City Could Be Better’: Who Controls Austin’s Autonomous Vehicles?
    31 Oct 2026
    Why are there so many Waymos in Austin? As it turns out, Texas law governing autonomous vehicles (AVs) supersedes city authority and prevents any local government from regulating AVs, creating areas that have become increasingly attractive to AV companies. Miles Bloxson joins Your City Could Better to talk about if this loose regulation is good for Texas, particularly its dense capital city, whether local benefit is a priority for manufacturers at all, and how other U.S. cities can learn from Austin if a similar influx hits their streets. Mentioned on the show: City Cast Austin’s episode on AV regulation: https://austin.citycast.fm/podcasts/are-texas-schools-using-ai-to-ban-books-plus-driverless-cars-in-austin-and-new-michelin-stars Waymo blocking emergency response to Austin shooting: https://www.axios.com/local/austin/2026/03/02/waymo-vehicle-blocks-ems-austin-mass-shooting The city of Austin’s public dashboard tracking incidents involving AVs: https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/dbd59d9b20634de1afad32a8267b739b# Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?

  • What’s the most horrific place someone could take you on a first date in Austin?

    What’s the most horrific place someone could take you on a first date in Austin?
    30 Oct 2026
    We’re getting into it in today’s members-only podcast episode. For City Cast Austin Contributor Eric Webb nothing could be worse than a trip to a Tesla dealership. Hyperreal film programmer Emily Basma lives in fear of a date where robots serve dinner before ending up at the Comedy Mothership. And don’t even think about taking host Miles Bloxson to Waffle House on the first date! The three share hilarious dating horror stories, discuss how horror films reflect our political climate, and debate whether it’s okay for adults to trick-or-treat if they’re in costume. Plus, a very special guest, Michael Bloxson, joins us to break down how to decorate your house for Halloween and bring joy to your neighbors. Do you want to be a good neighbor?
