Day 1, finally.
Route 66, mile zero-ish. Lou Mitchell’s at dawn, yellow umbrellas out, “world’s finest coffee” already lit. Official start is Jackson and Michigan. Unofficial start is right here, with eggs and a promise to keep going west. Follow for the rest of the road.

The first Cybercab crash 😔 the haters were right
Tesla has reported the first Cybercab crash to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
According to the report, a Cybercab was traveling at approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) when it drove into a large, water-filled pothole, causing damage to the vehicle.
Personally, I don't think this incident should be viewed in the same way as a typical traffic accident.
At the time, a safety monitor was inside the vehicle, and there were no passengers.
While the vehicle sustained damage and the incident was officially reported as a crash, I believe it makes more sense to view this as an edge case encountered during autonomous driving development and testing.
After all, identifying and learning from these unusual scenarios is an essential part of improving autonomous driving technology and making it safer and more reliable.
Route 66, Day 14
Well I did it, and just over two weeks had finished Route 66. Wished I had taken some more time at places but overall a very fun trip.
Route 66, Day 13
What a day, I am exhausted. Ending at the WigWam motel. Good night all. Will post more after I finish the route tomorrow.
Route 66, Day 12
Done with Arizona, on to California. Absolutely gorgeous countryside on Route 66 in western part of the state.
I'm going to post a couple of videos in a reply to this post if you're interested in watching them.
Route 66, Day 10
Said goodbye to Holbrook Arizona. Stood on the corner in Winslow. Spent the rest of day at Meteor Crater.
Tomorrow the Grand Canyon South entrance...
Route 66, Day 9
Started at the Continental Divide elevation 7,295 ft. Stop that El Rancho, very cool. The rest of my day was spent in the Petrified Forest even did a 4-mile hike out and back to the Crystal Bridge.
Route 66, Day 8
Made it to Grants New Mexico.
Auto 66 Museum was very cool, lots of very high quality vehicles. The Blue Hole was crystal clear and chili well at least the water was. The neon really popped tonight.
