Recently took a waymo in Phoenix. Its was pretty smooth.

There was an event and several road closures. It managed to reroute using an alternative path.

Some times the waymo was cheaper than uber and at other times was twice as expensive.

That averages out to about 5 paid trips per minute, which is impressive considering the number of places where Waymo is offering paid trips: currently San Francisco, Phoenix, and parts of LA.

Has LA's waymo started accepting paid trips already? I thought they were in testing and riders were waitlisted still. I always see them around my work on the Westside, but they never have passengers. I'm kind of excited to try it once.

Yes, they have. It’s still waitlisted, but the rides are paid now.

Sweet, that's good news. Thanks for the update!
