On: California Approves Waymo Expansion to Los Angeles and SF Peninsula [pdf]

Just the safe driving alone is a big improvement. Every time I get into an Uber, I hope and pray the driver isn’t aggressive and erratic. You always know what you’re going to get with a Waymo.

Plus, nice and clean Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. No person to talk to and no tipping.

You trust an entity you can't interact with over a human being?

[ra7 → hacker_newz]

Having experienced Waymo’s driving, definitely.

Have you seen human beings? Especially when they're driving?

Granted I've never been in a Waymo but I've definitely been picked up by Uber/Lyft drivers who were extremely erratic and likely drunk or high.

100%. Seeing the idiots we give driving licenses to these days, I’d pick the machine every single time.

After a total of 41 Waymo rides so far: Yes, absolutely.

You can call their customer support line if you have a problem.
