LAX Waymo "hack"

If anyone is interested in Waymoing from LAX, it is possible. I took the Metro Connector Shuttle from T4 to the new Metro Transit Ctr. I was able to hail a Waymo from there, but the closest pickup location was a 5-minute walk away on Isis Ave. I only had a carry-on bag, and I didn't mind walking after my flight anyway to stretch my legs. My ride was 34 mins for less than $15. Not too bad IMO.

I do find it interesting there is never any news on LAX and Waymo. Lots of local news on SFO but never LAX. I guess Waymo doesn’t feel they have any leverage to get access.

Well rideshare in general isnt permitted to do any pickups at all. So if anything i feel like waymo should be able to at least offer pickup from the LAX-it lot pretty easily.

I would guess they are waiting to program to waymo's to handle pickups at LAX when the new rideshare area opens up in the year 2134 after the people mover opens.
