I'm glad they're using GPS now, because I've lived in and around Mountain View for the past 10 years and it's becoming a bit crazy lately. There are bikes dumped everywhere. I'm always surprised how far away from Google's campus they end up. Having GPS, they'll eventually get picked up, which is good. If I started seeing stripped down Google bike parts strewn about (like in creeks) because they'd been left to rust, it'd be more than annoying, but as long as Google cleans up its mess, I think it's fine.
In terms of using a Google bike, I never have. But I'd be fine in doing so as a Mountain View resident. They use my street as a Waymo testing ground, literally using myself and any other pedestrian as beta testers for their driving safety algorithms, so I think I'd be quite justified borrowing one of their bikes: Quid pro quo.
