probably more about stretching their battery than anything else. if it roams around between trips it's going to have fewer customers per charge cycle.

But when roaming around at like 10 mph average round the city, it can presumably do a full 18+ hour day on a single charge. Electric cars are super efficient in urban environments.

I never thought about the charging problem. In SF, where do Waymo cars charge themselves?

They have awaymo garage where a human manually plugs them in to charge.
