Wow! 🤪
Mercifully not, I hadn't even read of the incident in question. The vehicle does remain locked over the duration of the ride, you unlock it by pulling the door handle twice once it stops at the destination....
First Waymo
Yesterday I finally had the privilege of experiencing a self-driving cab for the first time in my life . It was a surprisingly smooth and safe three mile long ride, and the only instance where the vehicle behaved in an egregiously cautious manner was when...
Very impressive technology
But wouldn’t want to be hacked while I’m a passenger in that vehicle 😳
I have a question filip
According to news a Waymo near Beverley Ctr was vandalized. UMMM you didn't have to trash the car to escape the car did you?
Wow! 🤪

I have been very curious about these rides, so thank you for this initial impression. What’s the value proposition to riders…is it cheaper than taxi or Uber?
I still don’t understand why the jogger that was not in its line of travel would make it stop🤔. I realize the bicycle lane runs alongside the car lanes. Was the jogger jogging in same direction as Waymo, or did she eventually jog off to the side somewhere...
The value, I think, is entirely in line....
with what one might expect. I deliberately checked both Waymo and Lyft pricing for the same 3 mile ride, and Waymo was $1-2 cheaper than Lyft ($14 vs $15-16). It's obviously an advantage to Google that they're not paying any drivers, despite the tremendou...
True about driver savings. The company is playing for the future when autonomous cars will be as normal as air travel.
For sure they got the money for the R&D.
I am inclined to think that....
Google simply got a good fleet deal from them, and that the vehicles are simply compatible with the software and hardware required to convert them into Waymo vehicles. FYI, they don't use Jaguar cars exclusively, there's at least one more manufacturer in ...
I recall now that I've seen Hyundais, and I'll keep an eye out for more....
I'll take a decent number of rides in February as I've sold my F-150 and am deliberately waiting for my tax return in order to get another inexpensive daily commuter vehicle....
Yes!
You have audio controls on the application itself, and can easily play music from your phone on the vehicle sound system (the default playlist is entirely instrumental which I love!), as well as physical A/C in the back....
It sure is! And I'd imagine....
They'd be more than happy to scale up and provide the service in EU countries, it's probably all about overcoming a myriad of local regulations....
I wouldn't be able to resist grabbing that steering wheel :-)
The car is ugly for sure but if it works that way, why not ? I am pretty sure it wouldn't work for a single minute where I live LOL.
