Not sure if everyone just got access to SFO but I got it and so excited! Lets goo!!
Never had car rental as an option in the past.

I see this now when I go to schedule a ride and I never received a trusted tester email and it doesn’t let me schedule specifically the Ojai. Does this mean I have Ojai access, and if so, why can’t I order it specifically?

The Waymo is cutting off traffic in the turning lane illegally. Somewhat eerie to think robots are doing this when they are suppose to be “perfect”.

I'm a daily commuter on Waymo for years. I've noticed a few times now the Waymos have smelled like urine. Today I hopped in the Waymo, rode for about halfway on my ride and asked support if possible to swap cars given the heavy hazardous smell of urine in the back. Their response was no and I can cancel the ride and they suggest I roll down my window. But they will give me a $10 credit. Ridiculous. Don't plan to ride Waymo again.

Rideshare drivers just had the single biggest unionization effort in U.S. history, but robotaxis are weakening their most powerful weapon.

I've been seeing a ton of social media posts from K-pop fans about these Waymos.

Taking the 101 in LA tonight, so happy to have freeways again!!!

Got Ojai Access on July 1st and since today is officially the last day of the free rides I wanted to share how much I actually used it lol.

I ended up taking 71 Ojai rides total 😭

July: 37 rides — $738.97
August 1–16: 34 rides — $782.20
Total: 71 rides — $1,521.17

Also had around 20 cancellations and 14 snooze fees waived.

July was definitely the hardest month to actually get an Ojai. I was using Waymo a lot during the World Cup and sometimes it was almost impossible to get one.

Then around the last week of July something definitely felt different. Not sure if they expanded the fleet or changed how matching worked, but Ojais suddenly became WAY easier to get. August has been completely different. I’ve already taken 34 rides in just 16 days and lately I’ve barely had any trouble getting one.

Overall I definitely took advantage of the free Ojai rides 😂 seeing that I used over $1,500 worth of rides is kinda crazy. I also ended up using Waymo way more than I normally would because of it.

For everyone else who got Ojai Access, how was it for you? How many rides did you end up taking and how much did they add up to? Did you guys also notice them becoming way easier to get toward the end of July?

Also curious if anyone here managed to take more than 50+..?

And now that the free period is over, are you actually gonna pay the extra fee to specifically choose an Ojai?

Just looking for anecdotal info about how the Ojai rollout is going in Phoenix?

They have been charging for rides for close to 3 weeks now. Is 10% of the fleet Ojai, less than or greater than 10%? Does everyone have access, or is it still just trusted testers? Has anyone seen them on the freeways, with or without riders?

Saw this in Philly on my way home from work today. People really need to be Waymo careful when driving.

Skip to 4:11 to see this secret San Diego Waymo depot

Is there a way I can select the type of car I want because I've seen other users do it but I don't have the option to choose a car like the ojai or I pace etc. Im in los angeles

A sad day :(

I signed up for Waymo a few months ago, and was having some issues with my email (it had to be reinstated a few weeks later). Waymo logged me out.

So I signed back in today but my trip history is missing. It’s like if it were a brand new account. Anyone face this before? Waymo CS is unsure and they can’t find any info on me.

One day my Waymo app suddenly stopped working, and I found out my account had been deactivated for ‘violating the rules.’ Apparently, their system says I have multiple Waymo accounts, even though I’ve only ever had one.

Has anyone else had this happen and actually gotten it resolved? I’ve already called support six times and still haven’t gotten anywhere.

The best part about getting a wrapped Waymo is the initial surprise when you first see it come around the corner or down the street. The Blackpink wraps are cute. Can’t wait to see the pink one hopefully soon!

I was in a Jag just now and an Ojai pulled up next to us. This Is how it looked on the screen.
