Waymo Vs Uber:
Uber sends its 80% of the cost to Drivers who are actually keeping the business running. But in Waymo, the cost for a driver is nearly zero and it’s a one time process of training the car for a lane.
With the profit cut there, Waymo offers 60% cheaper services to its users and most of the trips taken are around 6miles maximum which is not a big deal for the electric autonomous vehicles to operate.
Waymo also planned to offer Ride sharing which even reduces the cost one margin again and makes it easier for the people to take short rides like dropping off school, buying groceries, etc and cheaper too.
The GoodBye Part:
Technologies like Waymo are like dream come true and they offer better, cheaper and efficient solutions to human problems. Hope this technology reaches our country any sooner and makes our lives better.
