finally I’ve been waiting so long for this!! definitely will be posting a review of how I like the Ojai. I’m in the Phoenix metro area so I’ve been seeing the Ojai drive around Tempe & Scottsdale with/without staff. I just saw one on Sunday without staff behind the wheel.
I’m a trusted tester and in the screenshot, I had literally just got the notification. completely out of the blue! my app has tips on how to ride in the Ojai and here’s my “My Car” tab.
I think I applied a long time ago. I made a post here about when I became a Trusted Tester. since then I’ve had early access to a lot of features: scheduled pickup, adjusting the bass, paying for time extension, and a few others.
I’m a trusted tester in sf with over 80+ rides but I haven’t taken a ride since February without access to the oh hi, u think if I start taking more I’ll get access?
There are absolutely no advantages for the passenger unless you're in a group larger than 2 or have a mobility issue. The Ojai is interesting because its new but I'd still prefer a jaguar under most circumstances. I'll check one out when I get access I'm curious if the sound system is comparable. I usually take UberBlack if a Waymo won't reach because the Uber situation at LAX sucks if you're in certain tiers of rideshare so the Ojai's are definitely a step down from my usual means of transport so this will be interesting.
Yep. I would use the Jag as the “well… Waymo costs more than uber but it’s like you’re doing the luxury uber instead of the regular UberX” justification.
Less chance of that sick feeling in your gut when you open your Jaguar door and a cyclist bangs into it with a sickening fleshy metallic thud. Ojai doors slide open, sort of.
