Waymos crash less than human drivers

The wait times have gotten better, they're getting freeway approval shortly which will be nice, the price is still at a premium (but worth it imo). I only take Waymo in SF now.

The only time I take Uber in the bay area is to the airport (and when they approve Waymo for SFO I won't take Uber then either).

I generally find that Waymos are cheaper than Uber/Lyft including tip.

I’ve also seen that, although Uber and Lyft peak times seem correlated to each other, they seem uncorrelated to Waymo peak activity. But this might be stabilizing as Waymo ridership increases.

Ah I guess I almost never tip uber (unless something exceptional happens) - holdover from the Travis era.

>>Uber/Lyft including tip.

The real question is why tip on either of those? You pay through the app, the driver is compensated for their time, why tip extra? If you feel that Uber/Lyft are mistreating their drivers, stop using their service, not pay them on the side?

Couldn’t we also feel like Waymo is mistreating their workers by putting them out of work entirely?
