Here is a realistic cost analysis using my daily routine in Los Angeles (15mi to work, 15mi back home).... $18 = My Silverado Truck = Gas, Insurance, Maintenance $100 = Waymo Ride $115 = Uber / Lyft Quite a big difference. This wont replace a daily commute, but its a great idea for getting around metro areas you dont know well, or going to a concert to avoid the nightmare of parking and parking fees, bar hopping, museum hopping, etc. I plan to try it out for the first time this weekend to hop around LA without the stress.
Two critical questions: does it handle roundabouts and priority to the right, give way for other vehicles oncoming from the right. I'm still not convinced. I still don't know Show us a video how it handles those two...they are quite common in Europe.
Its sad to see that this would bring an end of era. The legendary era of self driven petrol and diesel cars. I really hope this don't make it to the mass markets.
I dont trust it and ive seen them block traffic and just sit there. There is noone to tell them to move. Anyway ill still with real people, i care enough to trust people and to make sure people have a job.
I wonder if these would be safe on the freeway. I don't currently drive so I would love to take trips sometimes, but I'd be a little bit worried about going on the freeway with these cars.
Once Robotaxi begins to scale, is there any chance that Waymo focuses more development on camera-based vision and/or neural net replacement of control code?
