The only difference with the Waymo experience would be that there would be nobody your friend could threaten to assault for putting in the wrong address.

The Waymo also can't force you to get out. Probably you can just give it a new address.

Is that relevant? It's a driverless car. Simply don't get out. Maybe it drives you back to dispatch or to the police station. Maybe the police show up to the current location. Regardless its got to be safer than wandering around a neighborhood you definitely don't belong in.

Heh, from the sounds of things it’s more likely the Waymo would have simply driven to their actual destination.

these tales are generally the apocryphal dreams of suburbanites. the uber driver would have pulled a gun on you?
i’m sorry but i grew up in urban America, nobody is mugging people under an account tied to their name/DL

I grew up in substantially more dangerous environs than urban America.
It's entirely possible to live quite safely, in urban US areas, but the opposite is also true, and those folks are the ones that like people that live in the bubbles.
