Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Waymo plans to return to New York City next month to do more mapping as well as testing. However, its vehicles will be driven by humans. New York state law doesn't allow for vehicles to operate without a person at the wheel, but Waymo is pushing for changes to the law. Waymo's taxis have surged in popularity in other cities - the company now provides more than 250,000 autonomous trips each week.
