Very few people down here want to ride in them, and I have multiple friends with hilariously disastrous stories.

Most of the Waymo stories are "Well, it took 15 minutes to arrive, but then it was fine, if a little slow."

Wamyos in SF are nearly indistinguishable from ubers/lyfts at this point. Maybe a bit slower if you don't have the highway mode enabled on your account, but they are everywhere and arrive within 5min most of the time I order one. I've ridden them so often I've lost count.

You'd have to pay me to ride in a Tesla robotaxi. That tech isn't anywhere near the same as Waymo.
