There was a time when my regular errands took me down El Camino in Mountain View, and at that time, NOT seeing a Google car was notable. Seeing 2 to 4 during a single outing was normal. I vividly remember when they started rolling out what I call the "jelly bean car". Sharing the road with the sensor-decorated SUV's was no problem at all. They really drove well and blended into traffic very well. The early bean cars were slow and annoying. They drove like somebody's grandparent that needs "the talk" about giving up the car keys. Very frustrating to be around. Hopefully, Waymo has addressed that by now.
