News Notes

NASHtoday_Waymo_Exterior.png

Now that we know Waymo is here to stay, here’s a breakdown on how the vehicles operate. | Photo by Rob Pegoraro

Announced

Waymo’s autonomous ride-hailing service will launch in Nashville next year in partnership with Lyft. The news comes six months after the company began testing its self-driving technology here. Once live, riders will reserve cars through the Waymo app, with Lyft app access planned as the service grows.

Eat

Order up, West Nashville. 51st Deli just opened a new location with a drive-thru at 7104 Charlotte Pk. Stop by for sandwiches, salads, snacks, coffee, juices, and other deli favorites.

Coming Soon

The owners of The Authentique in East Nashville plan to open Maminette, a French-inspired cafe, in Donelson. The opening date hasn’t been announced, but expect coffee, crepes, beignets, and creme brulee when it debuts.

Sports

Longtime Titans radio voice Mike Keith will be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor at halftime of Sunday’s home game against the Colts. Keith, who called every Titans game from 1998 through 2024, now calls University of Tennessee football and basketball games. He’ll be the 19th overall member honored.

Biz

The Printing House hotel opened at 3rd Avenue and Peabody Street with two dining spots to try: The fifth-floor Letterpress Lounge & Terrace for skyline views over lunch and dinner + The Press House Cafe for espresso drinks, brunch cocktail flights, and food options.

List

Two local spots made Time Out’s list of the 15 best bakeries in the US. D’Andrews earned praise for its “jaw-droppingly artistic confections” and breakfast sandwiches, while Perenn’s Franklin location stood out for its seasonal items.

Biz

Why are the same firms that backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also backing Pacaso (Nasdaq ticker reserved: $PCSO)? Because it’s disrupting the $1.3 trillion vacation home market with co-ownership, already earning $110 million+ in gross profit in under five years. (And until midnight, you can join the 10,000+ shareholders.)‡*

The Wrap

Has anyone spotted a Waymo vehicle on the road during its testing phase here? I’ve seen a few myself. Passengers aren’t part of this phase, but if you’ve tried the service in another city, I’d love to hear what it was like.
