I'm in Phoenix this week. I wanted to use Waymo. They only allow credit cards with a 6 digit zip, so if you're visiting from another country you're not able to use the service.
- pavlov 2y agoAmerican zip codes have five digits, so that’s probably what you mean? Anyway, I agree, using the postal code for credit card authentication is insane. Some significant countries like UK and Canada use letters within these codes, so you can’t even assume that a credit card’s associated zip code can be entered with digits.
- jemmyw 2y agoyeah, five and the postal code in my country is 4 digits

- jemmyw 2y agohuh, yes it seems it does. I'm still in the city for another day, maybe I will get to try it out tomorrow. Cheers for that, I wouldn't have re-installed the app to take another look otherwise.
- jemmyw 2y agoI did indeed get to ride on it, and I thought it was really good. It did take approximately twice as long as an Uber due to avoiding the highways. I'm ok with that, it was nice to be in a car that didn't tailgate.
- hnav 2y agoDid you try 00000, 99999 or entering just the digits from your postal code with truncation or 0-padding on the right?
- jemmyw 2y agoYep I did try that, no go.
