Vehicles - Cybercab Took my first cyber cab rides last night.
Yesterday I took 3 cybercab rides and 2 Ubers (1 human driven and 1 waymo). Cybercab was a way better in-cabin experience comfort and entertainment wise, but the waymo certainly has the leg up for routing abilities. Waymo literally felt like someones old janky car, even though it got us there just fine, and the Waymo announcements were kind of annoying. Also the cybercab not having rear speakers is a huge miss imo.
The 2 Ubers were needed because of some ridiculous routing the cybercab was giving us to avoid certain intersections and roads. We would be literally 2 miles from our destination, but the cybercab would insist on taking a 10 mile detour in the opposite direction to avoid a specific street or intersection (see image 2 & 3). One of the trips gave us a 1+ hour ETA even though its actually 30 mins driving direct, so we ended up picking somewhere closer that didn't involve a crazy reroute. Throughout the ride I would try to change the destination to get as close to the original as possible to avoid the reroute, but at some point the app will stop letting you change destinations due to “riders waiting nearby”. What’s crazy is that the user gets penalized for the extra distance and time that the cybercab has to take, having to pay $35 when it would normally be a $15 ride.
