MY FIRST RIDE IN AN AUTONOMOUS TAXI! THE FULL WAYMO RIDE EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH

EV Channels Review

This video offers a comprehensive first-hand experience of Waymo's autonomous taxi service in Phoenix. The reviewer highlights the convenience of summoning a driverless ride via an app, noting the vehicle used was a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Key observations include the car's adherence to traffic laws, sometimes leading to cautious driving and perceived hesitation, contrasting with more aggressive human drivers. While the ride was generally smooth and impressive, the reviewer points out occasional "phantom braking" and a tendency to take less direct, neighborhood routes, potentially increasing travel time. The cost is noted as comparable to Uber, with the potential for future price reductions. Despite minor quirks, the overall impression is highly positive, showcasing Waymo as a significant step towards the future of transportation, though the reviewer expresses a preference for the Pacifica's space over the I-Pace for passengers.
