I spent a week there very recently (like 3 weeks ago) and checked the prices a lot. It was always around 50%-100% higher than Uber. It was never even close to 20% higher.

I took a couple of trips for the novelty value (as someone else mentioned, it's by far the best tourist attraction in SF at the moment!). The experience was really great - very relaxing - but there's no way I'd use it if I just wanted transport. I can see women paying a premium for it out of fear of taxi drivers, but that's not really an issue for me. I would maybe pay a small premium to avoid awkward lack of conversation, and the bad driving of typical taxi drivers, but not 50%!

This post compares prices in LA: https://www.reddit.com/r/waymo/s/sU6l51A0XD. It's inline with what I mentioned above.

They could be scaling price with demand similar to Uber. Could be demand for Waymo was higher than demand for Uber at the time you checked.

That wasn't my experience in August, the prices were pretty much at parity whenever I looked.
