I took my first Waymo trip this past weekend. I will be using it every time from now on. I try to take an actual taxi (Flywheel) whenever possible, because Uber and Lyft feel... I dunno, exploitative to me. But my last 3-4 cab rides have been annoying and/or terrifying. One cabby stopped in the middle of a busy intersection to check directions. Another cabby got lost the minute I got into the cab, and I had to guide him. Then he kept peppering me with personal questions. Another cabby tried to convert me to Islam... Waymo was quiet. Obeyed traffic signals. Took a rather tricky backroad to get to my apartment, and navigated it flawlessly. Tried to convert me to the Cylon god. I'm gonna root for the robots on this one, I'm afraid. |
