My First Ride in a Waymo Robotaxi

I rode in a Waymo robotaxi in San Francisco and I'm thrilled! I have three questions: why do taxi drivers still exist, should I leave a tip, and when will this be in New York?

So, it finally happened and it’s just INCREDIBLE!! I rode in a Waymo robotaxi in San Francisco. Before this, I had only been on test tracks, but here I was in a real city, in the evening, with real people around. I’m just indescribably thrilled.

I only have three questions:

1. Why does the profession of taxi driver still exist in the modern world?
2. Should I leave a tip? 😂
3. When will this thing finally be driving in New York?
