Since Uber and Lyft make no money it's not a reasonable comparison, they are only cheap because they are financed by VC money. Uber and Lyft only exists today because there's an expectation that in a not so distant future they'll be able to replace all their pesky drivers that demand compensation and benefits for Waymos.

Possibly only because drivers don't realize the hidden cost of insurance, maintenance, accidents, fuel, etc. It's anyone's guess if there is a limitless supply of desperate drivers, or if they will wise up.
