Waymo rides cost more

Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft -- and people are paying
anyway

A central premise of robotaxis is that high usage and lower labor
costs will ultimately make it a cheap transportation option. That is
still far from true, but now there's some data that gives us an idea
of by how much.

Obi, an app that aggregates real-time pricing and pick-up times across
multiple ride-hailing services, has just published what it's calling
the "first in-depth examination of Waymo's pricing strategy." The
company found Waymo's self-driving car rides to be consistently more
expensive than comparative offerings from Uber and Lyft -- and it
doesn't seem to matter.
