I’m a big Waymo fan. Some of my thoughts;

Waymos are one of the first things that my visitors to SF want to try. It feels like living in a science-fiction future.

The ride and navigation feels very smooth - after the novelty of having no driver in the front seat wears off, you become accustomed to the experience surprisingly quickly. In comparison, I found the Cruise driving experience pretty uncomfortable and stress-inducing.

The app and software inside the vehicle is really well-designed. Which is unusual for a google consumer product!

And my female friends, in particular, far prefer Waymo to Uber or Lyft because they don’t have to engage with a creepy driver trying to hit on them.

I, for one, welcome our new self-driving overlords.
