My experience using Waymos in SF is that they are a little less expensive than an Uber. The other advantage is that you aren't stuck with a driver who hits on you or wants to share his opinions on the best way to slaughter goats.

I've also had an Uber driver talking about butchering various farm animals. I vastly prefer Waymo because it's a much calmer experience.

I had an Uber driver fall asleep on me while driving. I can’t wait for Waymo to come to Seattle.

Hopefully you guys are giving bad ratings to these insane people that think talking about slaughtering methods is appropriate cabbie talk?

Waymo is significantly more expensive than UberX nowadays. People are happily willing to pay for the better experience (and tourists probably the novelty)

And uber is profitable. Waymo burns $2 billion a year.
