Which is Better, Waymo or Uber?

When my wife and I were in Scottsdale, Arizona, the locals urged us to take a WAYMO instead of an Uber back to Tempe, so we did. I enjoyed the experience, and it got me thinking a lot about the noticeable difference between WAYMO and Uber and what we can learn from this from a business perspective. Positives for Waymo 1. They arrive on time and don’t cancel on you. 2. You don’t have to talk to the driver. 3. They stick to the speed limit. 4. On the onboard screen, You can clearly see how far you are from your destination and time. 5. The car was clean 6. No smell of smoke. 7. You didn't have to listen to bad music that the driver likes. 8. Waymo was cheaper than an Uber. 9. It didn’t ask for a tip at the end of the trip. I remember when Uber first started as an alternative to Taxis. Why did we love Ubers? The drivers were polite and helpful with bags, bottles of water, and mints. They made the travel experience pleasurable…. more so than getting a taxi. The other added benefit when Uber started was that you knew what you would be charged from point A to B. In contrast, a Taxi was very dependent on the driver driving the shortest distance, and nothing was more annoying than sitting at a light (that they slowed down for) and seeing the money ticking over on the metre. However, as time passed, the distinction between Uber and taxis became less defined. Benefits of an Uber 1. Waymo do have limited geographical areas 2. A Waymo can only fit two suitcases. Therefore, it's no good if there are three passengers. 3. Getting a good Uber driver can be very helpful if you’re visiting a new city.
