I'm a big fan of Waymo, but this press release seems to be almost entirely content free. Is there a link somewhere that describes what is actually new in the 6th generation?

1) It's cheaper: fewer expensive sensors

2) It's better: improved range and greater redundancy

3) It handles new conditions: extended time in rain, snow and Texas bugs
