Waymo sells itself

People hate human drivers more than they hate the idea of AI drivers

It’s an extremely consistent experience, and you can sit in the front seat (something I like personally). With Uber and taxi services, you never know what kind of driver or ride you’re going to get.

Uber is at least 1000x better than traditionally taxi, without any rating system.

They use to be (along with Lyft). But it's been a very long time since that was clearly true.

In reality I think you can get better experiences than a taxi with a rideshare service (which they really haven't been for a very long time), but it's very hit or miss.

So less consistently bad as a taxi service... but far from consistently good.

The real test is, can these self-driving cars drive I-4 without getting into any sort of wreck?

they don’t do highways in general, very limited access. could change at any time though especially as some cities have no other route
