do you have to tip the 'driver'? jokes aside, i would be happy to take them once the expand to SFO region so i can have a consistent experience.


I’d love to take it to the airport, but I imagine it’ll be a mess trying to pull up and park at departures. It’s already incredibly chaotic with the way humans are, and I don’t expect they’ll even pretend to extend any curtesy to a robot.

Maybe I’m wrong though? I think they go to the airport in phoenix, I just haven’t heard any reports on the experience.


Allowing Waymo at SFO is a political mess because the airport owned by the city and the city hates robotaxis. Waymo did apply for a permit to operate at SFO, but were denied.


That’s annoying - I hope it gets worked out, that’s the last bit I need to take Waymos exclusively.


> it’ll be a mess trying to pull up and park at departures

I’ve taken it to and from the airport at Phoenix. Pick-up was an in-airport light-rail station to the first stop. Drop-off was right to the curb late night.


Worth trying to sign up now. The waitlist takes a while.


It's not on a waitlist in SF anymore, Waymo is just open.


Interesting, my wife was still on waitlist in SF last week.
