WAYMO RIDES COST MORE THAN UBER OR LYFT — AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING ANYWAY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Waymo's self-driving car rides are consistently more expensive compared to offerings from Uber and Lyft. The company's average price at peak hours is about $11 more expensive than Lyft and nearly $9.50 pricier than Uber. The price difference shows excitement for the technology and a real preference to sometimes be in a car without a driver. Shorter trips tend to cost more than longer ones - the pricing gap shrinks as rides get longer.
