I Would Choose Waymo Every Time

If I had a choice, I would choose Waymo over a human driver every time. If I'm in Phoenix, for example, I will use the Waymo app exclusively. Despite the growing pains. I find the experience more enjoyable, and it's not just the novelty. The ride also just "feels" safer.

And here's the thing: if I could rent a share in a self-driving car, commit to a set amount of use time, and do away with owning a car, I would in a heartbeat. The car I won sits idle 90% of the time. A car that can drive itself to me when I need it and drive itself away when I don't would be perfect.
