Assuming the rides are comparable, the article has a table which includes price/km (weird) of Lyft: $7.99, Uber: $8.36, and Waymo: $11.22. On that data, Waymo is roughly 40% higher, so way more than just a tip.

Assuming you didn’t upgrade to a different tier or pay for priority to get your uber faster or a nicer ride.
Uber also can increase the cost of the ride on you with unexpected routes or time. Yes you can complain, but I am sure plenty don’t even notice.
The math isn’t wrong, but it’s not so black and white.
I’m in the camp though of “I would pay double not to deal with a human”
in my limited experience, you're not usually tipping a percent but a flat dollar amount of like $2-5 per ride, so $3 on an $8 ride basically removes the price difference between lyft/uber and waymo
