I continue to use them instead of Lyft or Uber. Same price practically for me when I commute around SF. I love it.
I routinely have as little interaction with the driver as I want
2.) The vehicles are standardized, comfortable and clean
3.) You can play your own music or none at all, roll down the windows or leave them up, while an Uber driver's preferences might not match your own
When considering all locations together, compared to the human benchmarks, the Waymo Driver demonstrated: An 85% reduction or 6.8 times lower crash rate involving any injury, from minor to severe and fatal cases (0.41 incidence per million miles for the Waymo Driver vs 2.78 for the human benchmark) A 57% reduction or 2.3 times lower police-reported crash rate (2.1 incidence per million miles for the Waymo Driver vs. 4.85 for the human benchmark) This means that over the 7.1 million miles Waymo drove, there were an estimated 17 fewer injuries and 20 fewer police-reported crashes compared to if human drivers with the benchmark crash rate would have driven the same distance in the areas we operate.
These numbers are not as high as I thought they would be.
Not trying to play devil’s advocate, just my experience
He got a huge shit storm for not wanting to talk to poor people.
Definitely don't advertise that you don't want to talk to drivers. Progressive politics is weird.
And while I agree that drivers here seem to be less inclined to talk than on west coast, I still occasionally get drivers who facetime the entire ride on the loudspeaker or watch videos on their phone mounted on the dashboard (while barely paying attention to the road).
Not even mentioning some of the stories my friends who are women told me about their uber/lyft experiences.
That was hilarious. Instead of Rothschilds, or Blackrock, its a French fraternal order in Paris.
those kind of people never notice the flaws in their theory, such as there being so many shadow groups that they would have to compete for power, the same as if no shadow group existed
There is a simple explanation for this within their canon, similar to how it works with religions - my conspiracy theory is the real one, the others are all wrong and/or planted by the baddies of my conspiracy theory.
There are sometimes fun crossover episodes between different conspiracy theories. But as soon as some incongruency between them forms a flaw in logic that you pointed out, it instantly goes to “yup, they are wrong, and my conspiracy is the right one.”
I rotated identities, just email, phone number, assumed a different last name in casual arenas, and everything went back to normal as a nobody.
Subsequently, the most amusing thing became reading about women googling all their potential dates. I never do that, but its funny that I’m a ghost and makes me wonder how many other ghosts they're giving the green check mark on. Seems like a waste of energy.
I like 2.) and 3.) and this was a promise of uber and lyft originally, but instead its always been a cumbersome experience that might as well not exist
The driver is often on a call for the entire journey, which is annoying.
It’s often much colder or warmer than I’d ideally like.
An extreme case, but I once had a driver stop a ride, jump out of the car and pull the driver out of the car in front. They proceeded to have a fist fight. The other guy had honked at him for blocking the road or something.
I’d much prefer a computer to drive me around.
