It's possible that in the long term because Waymo doesn't need to pay drivers their overhead will be lower, which could mean lower prices for riders. Of course, Waymo cars have very expensive computers in them, and maintenance might be expensive, and the AI used to drive the cars is expensive, and they might need to have backup safety drivers (at least at first), so whether they're actually cheaper remains to be seen.
