This is really exciting news! I think many tech companies would be interested in this service as it's a huge perk if you make your people commute into work.

I mean how many people drive for 30 to 60 minutes just to get to work in or already a bit stressed out because of the drive.

But second, wouldn't it be cool if places that serve alcohol could have a whole bunch of these codes to hand out! If somebody looks a bit too buzzed, just give them a code for a ride and send them on home. Heck even give him another code to come back in the morning and get their car!

Will this still make sense if Weymo has to spend 30-60 minutes getting to wherever the worker needs to be picked up, presumably the suburbs?

		Presumably that part of the drive would happen before rush hour, so it would be faster. And yes, for certain cases it will be - employees who start their day less stressed produce more value. For people with paid mid-six-figures, this potentially lets the company wring more cognitive labor out of their them instead of them wasting it on driving (and maybe they'll even work from the car).
