I always take Waymo to work in downtown Los Angeles. The ride is fast, pleasant and quite comfortable. The best thing is that it's cheaper than Uber or Lyft. It's definitely the future for autonomous rideshare.
Waymo's are *everywhere here in Los Angeles.* Truly crazy to see them around being the best dog-gone drivers!! Watching how they deal with traffic and make last-second decisions impressed me. Pretty mindboggling, actually.
If you are impressed with Waymo you should experience the new release of Tesla’s 13.2.2, my wife and I have been using it the last 3 days, it can take you seamlessly from point A to B with a smoothness and competency that I could not duplicate even if I was very familiar with the local roads. I would say Tesla is no longer a Level 2 self driving system but more like somewhere between Level 3 and Level 4.
I’ve interacted with Waymos in San Franscisco for some time now, and I’ve found those dang things pretty impressive, and often driving safer than local traffic and uber drivers. I went to the Nutcracker in downtown last week, and watching the Waymos navigate thru all the Xmas shoppers and heavy traffic, emergency vehicles, bus lanes, etc…was super impressive, including the hundreds of people leaving the War Memorial theater after the show.
What Tesla is doing with FSD is nothing short of remarkable. The fact it is doing it with just camera's is a huge benefit, and one of the reasons Waymo will not be able to compete.
Bro Tesla is trash and always ranks worse in sales and customer satisfaction and retention. Have you seen them piling up in parking lots? No one wants that’s garbage

Been using Waymo for years here in Phoenix. Feels much safer than some of the Uber drivers I've had. Can't wait until they have more cars to fill the demand better.
These have been on the freeways here in LA. I started spotting them a month or two ago. I see them dozens of times every single day in the city, and can confirm they are better than the avg LA driver. 😅
I use my 5 month old Tesla’s autopilot 99.9% of the time and it’s amazing. I’m mid 60’s and the enjoyment of driving, if there is such a thing, is now gone. I push a button, tell it where I want to go, pull down on the right stalk and enjoy the ride. I regularly drive on I-95 right up and through Philly no less. It changes lanes, makes the exits…everything and gets better with each update. Regarding Waymo, I don’t get it. For Tesla I think the highway driving is better than watching it navigate these quaint little south Jersey towns built in the late 1700’s. It absolutely does navigate them but kinda like someone who just got their license.
Funny, but no. This is absolutely a false equivalent. Unless you consider driving along a set track with no other drivers, wildlife, or pedestrians walking in front of you, the same as driving on a busy street. Oh wait, its not even remotely the same thing..
I live in Phoenix and take Waymo every time I go to the airport. It's a safer driver than most of the other people on the road, doesn't play weird music, doesn't ask intrusive questions, and doesn't need to be bribed with a tip for a good rating. Took my mother on it when she came to visit and after the first ride she agreed that she never wanted to go back to other rideshare services.
Just my opinion that Waymo should not drive on a freeway. Rode to a restaurant on Waymo a few weeks ago and the vehicle took an unusual route and had to back up on the street because of truck blocking its path.
I’m just curious I used to be a limo driver. I had a person to pass out nonresponsive in the back of my car. What would happen if that exact same scenario old happened in a Waymo car or one of these other autonomous driving cars?
Waymo on highways? Awesome! I feel *_safer_* with a Waymo, than I do a human driver - it's never reckless or impatient. Criticisms? Sure nothing's perfect - odd pickup spots and weird routing, as in can take *_"Waymo Time"_* to get there. Also, it's kind of cool without the social dynamics of a third party with you on your trips.
since they're basically swarming like bees around Sky Harbor Airport and Tempe, Waymos almost don't even need to go on the highways around Phoenix, but i see why they're developing it.
The incident this video cites as an issue (driving into a parade route) was neither an accident nor dangerous. They are really desperate to make Waymo seem controversial
Imagine if everyone just took waymo or some other driverless taxi to the airports. That would be crazy. Less traffic from bad driving, less congestion since the cars would return back to their base etc. Even better if they start mastering drone cars.
Alexander Winton - 1930 Things are very different today. But in the ’90s, even though I had a successful bicycle business, and was building my first car in the privacy of the cellar in my home, I began to be pointed out as “the fool who is fiddling with a buggy that will run without being hitched to a horse.”
Why are they so expensive? Doesn't make sense. Lidar is 90 percent less than it was just five years ago. Ride hailing should be less than owning at this point
The cost of building and operating a fleet of Waymo's is huge. They have a whole support base monitoring the cars, to help them get out of trouble. Waymo loses money on every ride.
Exactly, without LIDAR, Tesla’s system is inherently limited. With camera and image recognition only, it fails to recognize anomalies such as in the many documented accidents it has caused. Plenty of these crash videos on RUclips. Including a Tesla ramming full speed into an overturned semi on a freeway! Here’s a recent report.

When driverless cars flood the market, won’t oversupply and price wars create a race to the bottom? Only big players might survive, and job losses could force government regulations. Will companies pivot to better services, or will environmental impacts take over?🤔🤔
I live in Phoenix. The worst I've seen, a waymo parked in a red zone outside if a store for at least 15 minutes. I'll take that over everything else I've seen human drivers do.
Imagine no car note, insurance, or having to pay for gas and maintenance. Cheaper than driveshare because there’s no human to pay. I wish it was available back when I was starting out in life. One less massive expense.
It can’t be any worse than humans on a bad day. You have drivers under the influence of drugs and others who are easily distracted. We can’t forget the poorly maintained vehicles that malfunction while driving. This technology is moving in the right direction
I mean at least he's realistic and 6/10 is great for a car with no driver you'd think it would drive badly like 2/10. Just a little more testing until it becomes 8/10 or 10/10 than they will release it
Safety Concerns and accidents with waymo self driving cars ? NO WAY ! There are Rumors , that there are accidents in the past, where people who are driving by themself are causing accidents... but thats just rumors !
This tech takes earning opportunities away from ride share drivers. The tech will become more accepted as time goes on. The incidents of murders, SA’s, physical assaults and terrible customer relations might force LYFT and Uber to reconsider this technology or they might end up like Blockbuster.

Fully autonomous taxi vehicles are coming whether we like it or not and will be the norm.

Waymo has already proven over 35 million city miles that it is safer than the average human driver at avoiding accidents, and probably 10x safer at avoiding bad accidents. In fact, it has never caused a bad accident.
Quick search waymo 1 accident per million miles humans 63 per 23.1 million miles. It’ll take time getting use to it but we got use to “vapors” of electricity.
@ I may have been misunderstood. The reference to “Vapors” is from when electricity was introduced into peoples homes, there was a fear of Vapors. It was not real. People are worse drivers and Waymo would likely stop driving in limited visiblity situations, people keep going 70 miles an hour on the bumper of the car in front of them into dense fog. My point is some people will always get into mystical reaasons not to advance.
In Total Recall they had an android like appearance. Probably to help people accept it. Some of the very first cars had a figure of a horse's head. This was the design foundation of the hood ornament.

Much more than 90% of driving is not for fun but practicality. If all cars had strong AI, it could be an optional feature you engage on/off as necessary. You may need extra time to prepare for a meeting, do pleasure reading, or anything else other than driving. I like the use case of an overnight "red eye" trip. You can set your destination 4+ hours away and get some sleep while your vehicle takes to you and your luggage to the pre-programmed destination. This could be taxi or a personal vehicle. In a larger view, owning a personal vehicle is like a "boat anchor" on one's finances. And money is tight nowadays for so many. No need to be holding onto a depreciating asset that sits idle 99% of the time that also requires maintenance fees, insurance, cleaning, fuel/energy, interest fees (if financed), parking fees, traffic tickets, and takes up precious space in the garage.
@beyondfossil where do you sleep in a car? cars have no comfortable place to sleep..a van set up for it maybe, if A.I could be used to control the traffic lights that might be useful.
Uber and Lyft Drivers pay attention… your days are numbered and it’s time to get a real job very soon. Sorry those are just the cold hard facts. Waymo will wipe you out and replace you.
