AutoX and Pony.ai in China have been been offering rides to the public with no safety driver for much longer than Waymo

#6I continue to use them instead of Lyft or Uber. Same price practically for me when I commute around SF. I love it.

#7I’m a big Waymo fan. Some of my thoughts;
Waymos are one of the first things that my visitors to SF want to try. It feels like living in a science-fiction future.
The ride and navigation feels very smooth - after the novelty of having no driver in the front seat wears off, you become accustomed to the experience surprisingly quickly. In comparison, I found the Cruise driving experience pretty uncomfortable and stress-inducing.
The app and software inside the vehicle is really well-designed. Which is unusual for a google consumer product!
And my female friends, in particular, far prefer Waymo to Uber or Lyft because they don’t have to engage with a creepy driver trying to hit on them.
I, for one, welcome our new self-driving overlords.

Why, if its not cheaper, what is the value add (if you’re not female as another commenter pointed out)
I routinely have as little interaction with the driver as I want

You get to be alone during the ride
