    I found riding in a Waymo quite fascinating. Why did you quit?

      Cuz the way they’re running the company is going to get somebody killed, which I know because I also worked at another self-driving car company that did. I was excited by the technology because of its potential, but it’s clear that the only capacity it will be allowed to exist at this point is basically exactly what the op was asking for, a trendy expensive alternative to public transit that also serves you Google ads

        Aren’t Waymos already safer than regular drivers per mile?

        Cruise? 🪦

        Dang eh. Even if the tech improves (I assume it’s improving), you think it won’t be able to get on more roads due to regulation?
