    Took a Waymo once with some coworkers. The ride was fine (San Francisco inner City trip). What really surprised me is how normal it felt after a couple of minutes. Most people don’t talk to their driver much anyway, so there might as well not be one.

    I ride Waymo on occasion. It’s generally fine. They don’t take highways and can vary in price, maybe more expensive on average. Can sometimes pick up and drop off a bit farther than a human driver would.

    My wife like that you can change the temperature and there’s no pressure to talk to anyone.

    I took a vertical self driving car to my hotel room. It worked fine because it runs in a controlled environment with no obstacles.
