Waymo is amazing and has fully replaced Uber for me in SF. They're also expanding to the entire peninsula from SF down to Cupertino - you're out of date on this.
Waymo driving in SF is way better than human. It's not timid either.
This Mercedes post is marketing - it's not really what people consider autonomous given the constraints.
> "Drivers can activate Mercedes's technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on specific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph. Drivers can focus on other activities until the vehicle alerts them to resume control. The technology does not work on roads that haven't been pre-approved by Mercedes, including on freeways in other states."
The above makes it nearly useless and far less useful than what Tesla has been shipping for years imo.
