I would hope so! Are these rides actually cheaper? Assumably this is orders of magnitude less expensive than hiring a human and the driver is what you pay for.

I don't see myself using any of these any time soon, I tend to drive and walk everywhere and don't see much point to paying someone else to drive barring extenuating circumstances. But assuming actual cost benefits are delivered to customers this might be pretty exciting.
- _ea1k 2y agoRight now, they are pricing them similarly to Uber and Lyft, though they do seem to offer more frequent discounts and there is no tipping yet. The experience is better too, IMO.

Right now they're in some senses superior to ride-sharing/taxis as they are (potentially) safer, and cleaner. So there's no real market pressure forcing them to lower prices beyond that of uber et-al.
