Re: Waymo has completed 2M paid rider-only trips
#2Completed is a strong word. Mine wouldn’t let me out. I had to wait for it to stop at a light and bail. I’m pretty sure they should mark that a zero. MARK IT A ZERO DONNIE THIS ISNT NAM, THERE ARE RULES.
Re: Waymo has completed 2M paid rider-only trips
#3The 1m rides mark was announced May 10th and 50k trips per week was announced May 16th. So they must be getting close to 100k rides per week if my math is right.

You're upset it wouldn't let you out of a moving vehicle?

Some of us like to jump out of moving vehicles and do a cool roll or flip like in an action movie! This is yet another use case the Silicon Valley technocrats didn't consider...

You're absolutely right, 90,900/week. Astonishing. ~2x in 3 months? [1]
Are we seeing the hockey stick?
They've been consistently candid, and indicated the next vehicle is the one they'll scale on, custom taxi by Chinese automaker Zeekr. I figured it'd be another couple years, maybe build out LA, scale SF to highways, and then maybe Zeekr. But they recently started testing it, way ahead of what I thought they would...[2]
EDIT: -3?! Anyone have feedback? Genuinely surprised. :)
[1] May 10th to July 26th = 77 days 1,000,000 rides / 77 days = 12987 rides/day 12987 rides / days * 7 days/week = 90909 rides/week
[2] https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/the-waymo-zeekr-robotaxi-h... Steps: May 10th to June 1st = 21 days June 1 to June 30th = 30 days July 1st to July 26th = 26 days
1m rides in 67 days = 130k

#9> over 2 million paid rider-only trips completed
And how many of those trips were actually "rider only" and not "rider with remote assistance operator"?

Do you mean like, remote driver? Or a specialist had to help a fleet vehicle out of a weird hangup? Because based on my experience, it's probably nearly all of them minus some nominal percentage during events like navigating downtown Phoenix during Comicon.
If I remember reading, they can't remotely drive the vehicles.
