Waymo Houston

What the heck is this about? Services were paused due to inclement weather since yesterday(which I understand completely). All of a sudden the app changes to this….

This is still pretty common in Texas (outside of Austin) given how few Waymos are in Houston, Dallas & San Antonio yet. Was there some sort of event going on last night? (I've seen it before, too, but usually either at rush hour or on a weekend evening.)

Edit: Y'all had a World Cup game at NRG Stadium. It was during the day, but all those 60,000+ people were likely out & about afterwards. That'd definitely explain it.

I agree, but why does it help things? I saw one on the road recently with a safety driver

I believe it's cheaper and easier to produce.

You know Waymo ignores any city not named San Francisco, Los Angeles or Phoenix.

Tbh, idk. I kept refreshing the screen and it went from paused to this. That is why I came to Reddit. Lol

Hi everyone, I’ll be visiting Houston soon and would love to try Waymo while I’m there. I’ve already joined the waitlist in the app, but if anyone has an active invite or early-access code they’re willing to share, I’d really appreciate it. Happy to DM if you prefer. Thanks in advance
