I continue to use them instead of Lyft or Uber. Same price practically for me when I commute around SF. I love it.

- SoftTalker 2y agoWhy do they use Jaguars? Seems an unnecessary expense.
- soramimo 2y agoThey're spending a lot on the sensors anyway, so they might as well invest in a super nice experience all around to make it worthwhile.
- erikaww 2y agoOvercoming stigma perhaps? Making it seem bougier
- dyauspitr 2y agoMinimal markup compared to the equipment already on there.
- striking 2y agoThey got a good deal on EV Jags that weren't selling.
- jeffbee 2y agoIt's because the car is contract-manufactured by Magna and they came to a convenient agreement to get thousands of white cars with extra holes.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoHaven’t jaguars always been a mixed bag? Kind of low quality luxury, so I can imagine them getting some kind of deal. The irony is that jaguar used to be know for its really bad electrical wiring back in the 70s.
- leesec 2y agoThey won't soon, the I-Pace is stopping production
- bobbiechen 2y agoI did spot a Waymo Zeekr on the street in San Francisco the other day. But all the other Waymos I've seen lately are still Jaguars.
- yieldcrv 2y agoWhy, if its not cheaper, what is the value add (if you’re not female as another commenter pointed out) I routinely have as little interaction with the driver as I want
- smus 2y agoYou get to be alone during the ride
- panarky 2y ago1.) Waymos are safer than human-driven rideshare vehicles 2.) The vehicles are standardized, comfortable and clean 3.) You can play your own music or none at all, roll down the windows or leave them up, while an Uber driver's preferences might not match your own

- numbchuckskills 2y agoWaymo’s data was derived from crashes reported under NHTSA’s Standing General Order (SGO), over 7.14 million fully autonomous miles driven 24/7 through the end of October 2023 across Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. That data was then compared to relevant human crash rates resulting in police reports, injuries, and/or property damage. When considering all locations together, compared to the human benchmarks, the Waymo Driver demonstrated: An 85% reduction or 6.8 times lower crash rate involving any injury, from minor to severe and fatal cases (0.41 incidence per million miles for the Waymo Driver vs 2.78 for the human benchmark) A 57% reduction or 2.3 times lower police-reported crash rate (2.1 incidence per million miles for the Waymo Driver vs. 4.85 for the human benchmark) This means that over the 7.1 million miles Waymo drove, there were an estimated 17 fewer injuries and 20 fewer police-reported crashes compared to if human drivers with the benchmark crash rate would have driven the same distance in the areas we operate.
