Ethan McKanna(@ethanmckanna):I’ve taken Waymo rides in 6 cities and it’s so much worse in Austin than everywhere else. And it’s gone downhill in Austin even more recently The Uber partnership is doing so much more harm than good. If I was CEO of Waymo I’d do whatever I had to to get out of the deal today instead of waiting till 2028. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Uber is purposely making the experience bad to hurt Waymo now that they realize Waymo is their competition
