• Business Insider's robotaxi reporter, Lloyd Lee, attended the biggest tech showcase of the year, CES, for the first time.
• News Chief Steve Russolillo chatted with Lee about what he learned on the ground.
• Lee discussed the show's major focus on autonomy and why he left convinced Waymo has a healthy lead in the robotaxi wars.
