We here at UT can't enter the geofence w/o seeing a Waymo vehicle go by. Often 2 or 3 within a couple miles of driving inside their fence. UT students seem to love them to (for short rides). I'd love to see a comparison of person-miles traveled (vs simple ride count). And we would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see them sharing rides (to airport & other major destinations) asap. ;-) Thanks, Waymo!!
Nice, and yea they definitely are better for shorter trips these days since they don't go on freeways yet. Anything over 10-15 minutes in LA and I usually don't even open the Waymo app here in LA.
Sharing rides really hasn't worked out well in the US with Uber and Lyft, and I don't see any reason why Waymo would be different.
