In this episode: Waymo spends much more on lobbying as it pushes for fully driverless taxis and competes with Uber over the future of robotaxis. Also: The Panama Canal will let fewer ships through because El Niño has reduced rainfall and water levels.
Today’s English focus: will be able to pass, be allowed to go through in the future = be allowed to go through in the future. Vocabulary: vessel (ship or boat), transit (movement through a place), sustainability (ability to continue for a long time without harm or running out).
