Robo taxis cleaner?
One reason I would not get in a robo taxi is wondering how they keep everything from dog shit, to sloppy burger drippings, to crab lice, to sticky DNA substances off of the seats.

I wouldn't (yet) get into one because they, far too often, are unable to navigate roundabouts, they plow right into flooded roads, and they go the wrong way down one-way streets. When they realize they're going the wrong way, they just dead-stop.
They are about to unleash them in Denver. How they handle snow and ice will be interesting. Also, what happens when snow or splashing slush covers a sensor?
Nope.
Surely Uber and Lyft were caught flatfooted haven't developed any autonomous driving partnerships. My only complaint with these things. They are so freakin' slow. The few Waymo trips I've taken would've been done in 1/2-2/3 the time by a human. That's the price we pay for safety I guess.
@oneeyedundertaker Waymo has been doing this for years. I welcome the day when we don't have people driving.
@co-hoosier I've never heard of or used Robotaxi, but the Jag SUVs Waymo uses are always clean and smell pleasant, unlike many Ubers.

What is their incident rate vs human driven counterparts?

I wouldn't say too often. Mine have never had an issue in Scottsdale roundabouts, even though I've seen a few stories about people getting stuck.

Correct, but the cost of a ride & the tech Waymo used is miles behind Tesla. We did a big stretch of the PCH last week from San Fran to Cambria & spent a few days in Carmel & Monterey in a FSD Model Y & it was glorious & performed flawlessly. I won’t be renting anything else on a vacation that needs a car rental.
I’m sure some folks won’t trust them even though they’ll be far safer than human drivers, but some like @big-ryan will find excuses to hate them because of Elon. Ikm sure they’ll get vandalized by cretins regularly.

How is the cost of a ride behind Tesla if Tesla isn't offering a ride?

What the hell even is this? That's not a Waymo car. This is a Waymo car.
Also, I could gaf if I use Tesla, Waymo, Robotaxi or some other service. Just get me away from smelly cars and drivers.

Sorry, I should clarify that the timeline for these chain of events may go beyond this week.
Waymo has imported thousands of the Chinese made vehicle above(Waymo Ojai) & plans to expand their fleet with these more than the current Jag.
