I live in San Francisco and have used Waymo a couple times. The driverless ride was fine. It cost about the same as Uber or Lyft. If there is no bus line to or parking at my local destination then I will take Waymo. If Waymo drops their prices to about half or less of Uber charges, this will be a game changer.
I wonder if they will drop their prices. She referred to it as a “premium service” which I don’t quite understand. Hopefully competition brings price down.
@@ZdawdMonopolistic Corporate Greed. Why drop prices when we can charge the same and pocket the difference in Labour cost. Price gouging by other means basically.
The big difference is that, once they can make the cars affordably, there will *always* be one available - all times of day/night, everywhere. Which will be a game changer for car ownership - why bother owning/maintaining/driving/parking/insuring a car, when you can pay for an automated service that will always be available. Doing maths - rough running costs in Australia for a dailiy commuting car is about AUD$10-15k per annum. If that was replaced with, say 20 trips a week, that's 1000 trips a year. If each trip was AUD$10-15 on average, then why bother having a car... so much easier. uber is already able to do most trips at 10-20 dollars per trip, but it's such a ball ache waiting for a driver to accept, and then all the crap that goes with them cancelling on you, or claiming you weren't at the meeting location etc etc. And then they're usually 5-10 mins away.

It would be easier to do that with a car with a driver. The Waymo locks once inside. An attempt to open the door while a ride is in progress is difficult, and triggers the safety center for live person to dial into the robotaxi.

I care, I don't want to drive anymore.
You missed the part where Waymo is safer than human drivers who cause thousands of accidents and fatalities every day. It is worrying that the Waymo co-CEO describes it as a premium service; robotaxis won't transform mobility for people without a car until they're a lot cheaper than a regular taxi.
@@skierpagewho tf are u? Your comments are everywhere
Tesla will win the race as always. Business model makes no sense with overpriced cars and lidar tech
Waymo also uses cameras. It has more cameras then a tesla Why do you think waymo won't use cameras along with Lidar.
Same tired talking point, stunning lack of Tesla progress
@@manish_gupta it using cameras is regardless, to whether it’s software is vision first. Lidar slows down the input signal and boggles it down with false positives. That’s why it’ll be confined to a test environment.
@@JJRicks Teslas progress is measured by software improvements, tested on billions of miles . Not by a false sense of achievement through press releases.
@@ryansmithc ??????????? You're just making up stuff now. That makes not even a single lick of sense
Yeah i will be out of a job
This is a bad idea this will threaten millions of jobs this is anti capatalism
People who shoveled horse shit before cars said the same thing 😢
@josephdouglas6260 they suffered immensely tho
@@JameBlack They were suffering when they were shoveling poop- then they suffered - with a different, arguably better job. People don't just 'do nothing' People with the mentality that the work ends because one job has been automated are dumb- there is so much work that goes undone because we don't have labor available to do it- if labor is freed up- the jobs that are undone today start getting done...
That’s because they weren’t fit to shovel shit.
