About this episode
The episode discusses the rapid growth of Waymo, its ride statistics, and comparisons with Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi network.
Just got back from Austin, TX and there were Waymo's EVERYWHERE. Calling them was super easy through the Uber app, and surprisingly cheap. I had multiple rides across town that were under $10. Everytime the Waymo was super clean and was a perfect experience. It felt like I was living in the future. Waymo is officially at 500,000 rides per week now, a ~$500M revenue run-rate. I wonder when Tesla's Robotaxi network will catchup?? Will the upcoming Cybercab launch be a gamechanger?
