This was an experience iand adventure that I was quite nervous about at first, and I was quickly set to ease when the car picked me up, fairly close by the pick up location. The car avoided fire, hydrants and pedestrians and parked in the safest possible location. It gave me detailed directions on my phone. What to do how to get inside the vehicle. I was greeted by my name, which was a very nice touch. I enjoyed the detailed screen that showed the route the other cars close by and what to expect that. My instructor, Kevin was very professional and proficient , and knowledgeable and explained everything to me. made the experience even better. He was very knowledgeable and was Able to answer all my questions. At the final destination, it dropped us back off exactly at the entrance where I was wanting to be with a very short walk. The overall experience was exceptionally amazing, and I am looking forward to using this in my area as often as I can. This experience took all the stresses of the crazy drivers around me off of my shoulder and took it all on itself and handled it more professional than some humans that I know I had unfortunate pleasure of driving with on the road, but this experience by far was exceptionally amazing..

Riding in a Waymo is a much safer and much more relaxing experience than taking a Lyft or an Uber. No one in the car but you and your friends. Put on your own music, watch a tv show, or get some work done on your laptop. No awkward conversations, no worrying about the driver’s ability or the car’s road worthiness. I am looking forward to the day when they go everywhere so I don’t have to own a car anymore. Until then, I’ll enjoy it within their service areas and be grateful for the privilege. It’s human nature to fear what we don’t understand, but Waymo’s safety record speaks for itself. As someone who has taken hundreds of Uber and Lyft rides and logged hundreds of thousands of hours driving myself around, I’ve had my share of creepy/scary experiences. I’m convinced that taking as many humans as possible out of the equation is the only answer for making the roads truly safe, and Waymo’s state-of-the-art LiDAR technology coupled with their excellent, stable software tuned over almost two decades makes it far safer and more knowledgeable than even the most competent human. Avoid it at your own peril — again, statistically you’re actually taking far more of a risk on the road in any OTHER car!

I've tried several ride sharing applications, this one has the best user interface. It's responsive, easy to navigate, and stylish with just enough images and the right amount of text. The buttons on the bottom of the application are not only responsive but easy to understand with both a visual pictures and text below it. You only need the first two buttons "my trip" and "my car" the first to set your pick up and drop off location and to sync your music service app so you can jam on the way there. The second "my car" to set settings for your trip. Do you want AC? How cold and at what speed? You can even dive into the audio settings and add some bass to your music! I thought that part was pretty cool. The other buttons "feedback" and "support". Are there to reach out to Waymo just in case which was reassuring. The final button "account" is to setup payment, input promo codes and view your ride history + set standard preferences for future pick ups. This review is strictly based on the application. Despite having a little hiccup during my ride I still rate this app a well deserved 5 stars.

I have been using Waymo for a couple of years now, since it was invite only in San Francisco, and I can confidently say this will absolutely replace Uber, Lyft, taxis, etc. It beats other ride hailing services in every way, you can control the music, the heat, the space of the seat, all without needing to talk to a driver. And women I’ve talked to about it love it because there isn’t any chance of getting harassed by a creepy driver, it makes them feel safe which is one of the biggest issues for women regarding other ride sharing services. And as for the safety of self driving cars, I honestly trust a Waymo more than the average Uber driver. It eliminates the chance of a drunk driver, a driver texting or using their phone or being distracted in some other way, overall I feel safer in a Waymo than anyone else driving me. 100% better in every way, it’s just a matter of Waymo getting approved in every city then it will be over for the other apps!
