"The current status of [autonomous vehicles] means that cost and time sensitive customers still choose rideshare. For the time being, AVs will not be the low cost solution to transportation companies initially promised."
"Across the fifty samples, the average human-driven ride-hail price was $28.14, while an identical ride with a Waymo robotaxi cost $9.50 more... assuming you added a 20 percent gratuity, you'd still be paying about $3.87 more."
"The average time to pick up for Waymo was 7.2 minutes, compared to 3.4 for ridesharing, meaning that you'd be waiting twice as long on your robo-ride."
"The average trip time in a robotaxi was a glacial 33:58 minutes, when hopping in an Uber or Lyft would take you only 15:20 minutes - a staggering 120 percent difference."
