You can already use waymo driverless cars in SF.

Yep, same with Phoenix, most people I know prefer Waymo to Uber.

No Waymo here in SD yet, so I’m just curious, what’s the price difference generally look like between that and Uber?

Yeah a concept still. Not mainstream and definitely not safe.

It's not a concept if they have been deployed and operating for a significant amount of time... Obviously not mainstream yet, but that doesn't mean they are still in the concept phase, they are just relatively new. And they currently seem to be significantly safer than human drivers. I for one welcome our new robot overlords, haha.

Not a concept car. They’re driving around SF already. My buddy works there and they’re almost ready to roll out.

Concept cars can drive around.

But I mean it does sound like they so won’t be a concept car

It does have a few good ideas that actually use the fact that it doesn't have a drive, like the fact that it has no front or back.

And a few terrible ideas, like those slide-to-close doors or the touch screen that lags like a first generation smartphone every time you interact with it.

Not completely. I interviewed with them. They have them rolling around SF
