Unfortunately the economics don't work super favorably for Pool/Shared rides. The labor cost is still too high and the "match efficiency" (measure of how overlapping the routes are, how expensive the deviations are) has to be VERY high to get real profitable returns (see: airport rides departing from same or closeby doors/terminals) I get that with Waymo you are trading labor for recouping R&D, maintenance etc. which might still be expensive but I don't think the market has had the opportunity to decide on this type of trade-off yet.
