I'd love to have been a fly on the wall of the Waymo offices when this news broke

I’m so excited for driverless cars, and I wonder how this will affect the shift towards services like Waymo. If the choice of whether to take Waymo vs Uber comes down to cost, unions seem like they would shift the usage towards Waymo. (or Waymo simply increases prices to match)

Great news, although I just read uber is rolling out driverless rides. Just as I support the AMA for doctors I support collective bargaining rights even for gig drivers. Let's hope it makes a difference.
