Waymo is far from a full rollout across the US, let alone the world. That’s why.

Waymo is only testing in 4 cities. Market share is barely scratching the surface. Maybe in a decade, it will be viable replacement.

How lucky for Uber that driving in the rest of the world is fundamentally different than driving in the 4 Waymo test cities.
Legal frameworks and social acceptance of technology are fundamentally though.
And illegal human driven taxis are very different from robot driven unoccupied taxis. First one was existing phenomenon not in big scale that occasionally got handled.

Later one is very visible and scary one.

Good point.
