AI doesn't replace programmers, it's used by programmers for efficiency.
Waymo is most definitely not being used by taxi or rideshare drivers to be more efficient.

If a programmer is more efficient with AI then you need fewer programmers, assuming a fixed amount of work is needed. So in that sense AI would be replacing programmers.
I've never worked at a company that would choose to have less programmers instead of choosing to do more work. I guess such companies exist though.
Waymo definitely uses human drivers in some markets... currently
Just like AI still uses human programmers... currently
As I understand, Waymo still uses humans in some circumstances. Theoretically, the drivers could do this job instead.
