That's still an apply-to-be-accepted beta program, not something the public can actually use/purchase.

- polishTar 6y agoNot anymore. As of a couple months ago its been opened up. anyone (in the service area) can use it. Relevant blog post: https://blog.waymo.com/2020/10/waymo-is-opening-its-fully-driverless.html https://blog.waymo.com/2020/10/waymo-is-opening-its-fully-dr...
- crazysim 6y agoYou can just show up (or fake being) in the geofence, open up the app, and you can sign up immediately.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoI'm able to install the Waymo app, log in (disclaimer-I work for the same parent company as Waymo but I'm using my regular old personal email address) and the app appears ready to let me hail a ride. AFAIK it's fully open to the general public.
- Judgmentality 6y agoI'm incredibly suspicious of this. People in /r/selfdrivingcars are all still clamoring for when they can finally try it, including people that live in the area. Besides that, when I google I can't find any recent test drives by the media using Waymo. This doesn't pass the sniff test. Being able to sign up has been possible for years. The question is can anybody actually hail a ride with Waymo? Because numerous people on r/selfdrivingcars are claiming they can't.
- ra7 6y agoThey are indeed available. You can go to Chandler, download the app and hail a ride. There’s nothing suspicious about it and r/selfdrivingcars will tell you it’s possible too.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoWhat happens when you install the app and try to hail a ride (assuming you're in an area where the service is officially available to the general public)?
- ilaksh 6y agoGo on YouTube and search for "Waymo ride". There are a lot.
