#3Living here for the last 10 years, it's been jarring how just in the last few years, driverless taxis went from "it'll never happen" to "is this the default now?"
The Waymos are genuinely good drivers. I look forward to taking them every time.

Like grandma driving. In a good way.
Less jerky motion, cars don’t smell bad, less motion sickness while looking at your phone.

They are extremely nice compact SUVs (Jaguars), extremely nice interiors with displays (like Teslas) that show the entire surrounding area with visualizations of what the car can see, you can choose music and air conditioning, and the driving is extremely good — equivalent to a typical safe (albeit slow) Uber driver.

#10I'm always struct by how much more slowly driverless cars has been deployed than what I expected when the first won the darpa grand challenge. I guess I understand the need for caution. By the time this goes nationwide, I expect it will be pretty damned solid.
