      Why? You love just giving billionaires even more money. With absolutely nothing in return

    I’m glad Ed clarified that, we can never be too careful with our laughing behavior around someone with the trifecta of being of color, identifies as a women and has an immigration status. Although I do hope we can add something like wheelchair bound, autism spectrum or chromosome surplus for the next Waymo or Zoox CEO.

    I don’t think this was quite answered- how much will it cost to ride in a Zoox compared to a service with a driver? I hope there would be a discount compared to a service with a driver.

      What’s really cool without those drivers they won’t be by products that people need like that your company produces or services. And one day they’ll find a way to replace you with a machine for free😊

      It’s a luxury option so it will be more expensive than regular taxis. It will be similar priced to uber comfort, rather than a standard taxi.

      The long term goal is to be cheaper than a regular taxi but that won’t happen for a few years, maybe even a decade.

      Said everything except dynamic and surveillance pricing

    Nothing like giving billion-dollar corporations even more money. And this is for some kind of device that guarantees that people won’t be earning money from it other than the owners of it that sure is unregulated capitalism for you

      Move to Cuba then.

    Unbelievable

    Cool Company

    Love her. No ego, just action.

    Have been an Uber driver for 8 years now. This eventually will replace my job. But am not so against it anymore. They hardly pay us anything now. The companies have zero respect for drivers. They SO MUCH DO NOT CARE about us! They will go out of their way to prove that also! Those zoox can drive the puking beligerant drunks around now! They can also deliver the chinese food 9.2 miles for $2.00 for DoorDash, Grubby Hubby and Uber Eats

    Absolutely love the look of the taxi and it seems to be on the way to success.
