This is what radicalized me. “Uber is 4 minutes away” so I call them, and it tells me it’s trying to find drivers for the next 6-8 minutes, then a driver is selected and they are 11 minutes away, then they sit at their location for 4-5 minutes, then they start moving toward me, then they’re 5 minutes away and cancel and uber changes to finding me a ride. Infuriating.

And that happens everywhere and with every ride app. Here in Mexico we have DiDi and Uber and we have the same crap. It's human nature.

That's why taking a Waymo in LA left me without words... like traveling 10 years in the future. And you dont have to deal with all that crap.

I hope Waymo squashes all the competition.

BTW after getting back from LA I increased my GOOG position. Waymo is so groundbreaking and it is THERE.

Same here. This is the exact reason why I will use Waymo before Uber now. I wanted to support human drivers but they let me down too often. I pick robots now.
