And when margins compress the first thing that will go is the threshold for cleaning. Cleaning is not just expensive in labor but also taking a car out of circulation. All incentives point towards lowering standards to the absolute minimum people will tolerate.
The car drives itself to a cleaning station, or it is scheduled to be cleaned while charging. I don’t get why you think it will just be a race to the bottom and all common sense will be thrown out the window.
Margins aren't going to compress for some time considering that Waymo's only competition is human-operated driving services.
