> “I never got my driver's license, and I rely on Waymo to commute to an office every day," said Sarah Paige Roland, a Waymo rider in Phoenix. "I get privacy, time back, a safe ride, and I'm not obligated to talk to someone that I don't want to talk to."

I recognize that this is a luxury product but I kind of laughed out loud at this testimonial. The amount of privilege you need to have to grow up and live in *Arizona* without ever learning how to drive is insane.

Alternatively, consider the person is disabled and is physically incapable of driving.

So what you're saying is this hypothetically disabled person who is physically incapable of driving chose NOT to mention that, but instead chose to provide "I never got my drivers license" as their reason?

And you're asking someone to consider this because I presume you think this is a likely enough scenario to consider?

		Yes, someone is asking you to consider the personal situation of the stranger you are critizing. My deepest condolences for your inconvenience.

Yes, but realistically, it's not that likely.

I appreciate this comment immensely - too many people seem to mindlessly assume that every other person shares their own situations, and it could not be less true.

And then spend at least $800/month commuting.
