Waymo is under Google.

Yeah but they're not wrong. I prefer Waymo to Uber/Lyft. Slightly pricier but there's no tipping so it balances out.

They're also more consistent. I never have to worry about Waymo parking in front of the wrong building, then fucking off with 2 minutes left on the timer. They park in the right spot every time. They sometimes make stupid mistakes like not using the middle lane to turn left, but overall they drive more safely than the average human driver. The radar sees everything; one time a Waymo avoided an accident that I would have never seen coming. Speaking of which, I like how you can see what it sees on the touchscreen for peace of mind.

Overall, I'm okay with using a Google service every once in a blue moon to have a much better taxi cab experience.
