Its not different. But its also not the reason for why their business model is unsustainable, great straw man though.

  It seems to me their business model depends on replacing drivers with self-driving cars. This is not that discussion.

    You are correct. It relies on replacing the drivers they are exploiting with robots that don't require a living wage. This is absolutely that discussion, like it or not.

      On that front, after I retired, I applied at Waymo as a safety driver but didn't get hired because some idiot almost hit me during the test drive while blasting his way onto the hwy 101 while merging. I did learn some interesting things though. I'd been watching Waymo cars in Mountain View for awhile. They were hiring new drivers because they needed a second driver to keep the first one awake! Apparently having the driver on camera all the time was not enough. Let's just say I'm highly skeptical that the recent opening of Waymo to the public in Arizona is not some Potemkin Village operation.
