Waymos will get cheaper to make as they scale up. The Ioniq version [1] costs less to build. All the sheet metal and mechanical mods for Waymo are done at the Hyundai factory in Georgia.[2] Waymo just mounts the electronics.

Jobs at the Hyundai factory start at $23.66/hour, with reasonably good benefits.[3]
