I've only used Uber a handfull of times, and all of them at least 7 years ago - nothing recent.
Last time I used it was late at night, I had used an Uber to get Pizza but it was kind of far from my hotel. After eating I used it again to get a ride back. Unfortunately whatever driver it chose for me, decided to just SIT for an hour at their house (or somewhere). And then finally left. It was like 11pm, middle of nowhere and I was freezing cold.
I'd rather choose a Waymo than freeze my ass off. This was an area that had so few drivers (I wasn't from here so I had no idea).
This is a huge huge huge problem for Uber. They have severely degraded their one key fearure: reliable knowledge that your taxi is on its way. This is the entire point of Uber versus a regular taxi.
