Waymo did fine, you were a nervous wreck. Waymo had the right of way when it started to do that right turn, it did NOT cut off that other driver, the other driver went into the intersection AFTER Waymo started its turn. It drives "over the middle line" sometimes just like every human does, it's doing so to keep space from the parked cars. You also exited the car before you were supposed to because you weren't paying a BIT of attention to the instructions. The car was almost to its destination, and was telling you what to expect when you got there.
Can't wait to see your NEW UA-cam channel titled: "OVERREACT!" . . . in which you overreact to everyday things - eg- Day at The Barber: "Oh, you're cutting it too close . . . Ooh, it kind of tickles"
Your commentary definitely made me more nervous than the Waymo did. On Friday evening, I rode a Lyft to a SF street festival and a Waymo back home. I will say that the Lyft driver drove way more dangerous than the Waymo did. On the way the Lyft driver cut across 3 lanes of freeway traffic and stopped on the freeway shoulder before merging back into traffic--which was SUPER SKETCH and made me fear for my life! On the way home the Waymo drove way safer and stuck to city streets. I find the Waymo cars drive more confidently and don't hesitate when there's space to go (just something you have to get used to). Overall, it was about a $7 more expensive to ride the Waymo. Not insignificant, but I found it safer than the real driver I got that day.
I'd rather a 10 year old drive than get in a Waymo. But then again some people need to save a few buck and would risk their life for that. Simpletons will beleive anything that is sold to them as safe and working
@@rejectionistmanifesto8836 Then you'll surely crash from being driven by a 10 year old. But then again some people are fearmongering themselves into thinking human drivers aren't more reckless.
This ride seemed fine. On narrow roads, it’s safer to drive in the middle of the road so you won’t get surprised if someone walks out into the road or opens their car door without looking, though you do have to quickly scooch over if another car comes, as Waymo correctly did. And it was correct for Waymo to cut-off that SUV. It’s an all-way stop, and Waymo was there first, so it had right of way. It was the SUV driver who was driving recklessly by barging into the intersection out of sequence. I would also have asserted my right of way there.
Dude. It has better sensors than your eyes. It isn't going to hit anything that you wouldn't hit. Why is it going that route? Dude, it has all the data that google Maps and waze has. It knows better than you. Also, it may be taking dead routes as it has the lowest percentage chance to get into an accident. Middle of the road = it can see there are no cars in opposing lanes, but it has a harder time dealing with parked cars opening doors into a waymo, so being out wide is actually safe. Host is making a lot of dumb comments, considering waymo has a better driving record than the host. I'm just disappointed by the price, which should be less than Uber/Lyft by a fair margin since it isn't paying for a driver. Guess they are recouping R&D costs.
Price will go down as they scale. He was riding during a peak hour, and they push up price to keep demand down. They don't have enough cars yet to be cheaper at that hour.
@agildehaus ah, I haven't ridden waymo yet, so I don't know if they "surge" or not. The cool thing about their model, is that they can run as many cars as there is demand, and utilize them heavily, like domestic planes. No driver to rest, no driver to take breaks, no drivers quitting "early" or turning down routes. It eliminates the one chaotic variable. Humans.
Your commentary makes it seems like you've never driven in a big city. Most human drivers are MUCH worse than the Waymo. Take a cab in NYC sometime and you'll be grateful for the Waymo!
I think he just never took a Waymo before. I would be nervous too given the state of things with them. But regarding cab drivers, the last time I was in a cab in NYC I closed my eyes a couple times. That driver made moves I would never make even on my most reckless days.
Lidars are not the answer and Tesla knows this which is why they don't use them. Tesla are closer than anyone to solving self driving. Most people have no idea how close.
Overreacted to the point of getting out of the car while the car was still shifted into DRIVE. You should have let the car safely pull over and parked before getting out.
Could be a good option for people who don’t want to interact with an Uber driver. You can choose your own music, make private phone calls, etc while feeling like you’re in your own space, not public transport. I wouldn’t pay more than Uber though.
@@jasonwong6369that too, but then the downside is it’s taking away money from the little guy (Uber drivers) and giving to a corporation. So that’s not really a plus to me.
I hope autonomous cars help calibrate and align all the incredibly skiddish/passive drivers AND the really aggressive drivers to the nominal population. Like at 2:59, that's totally normal distance for everyone, this helps calibrate your own driving to see that its indeed ok and the oncoming traffic is still like 10 car lengths away. It'll help make everyone either more confident in their own driving, or more reserved if they're normally dangerous drivers.
Oh please. This is clickbait of the first order. Very very few Waymo rides are ever "harrowing," but that doesn't stop click-hungry UA-camrs from pretending they were. Anything with this kind of headline should deliver, at a minimum, footage of Waymos careening around corners, knocking over vegetable stands, or doing something similarly disruptive/destructive. Guess why they never do.
@CybertruckNick I feel like he is playing dumb for views and engagement. When he is looking at the open doors and dumbfounded as to whether or not to get in... I mean, just being silly. I respect BTB too much to believe this is a genuine take. Perhaps control freaks (I am one) may struggle more with it, but not knowing if you should get in your ride... thaf literally has your name on it and opened the door for you... I cant...
@CybertruckNick That kind of faked confusion is now standard for UA-camrs desperate to shock viewers when unembellished reality would be far less interesting.
I had the chance to ride Waymo when it was still doing a waitlist and offering free rides to test riders. I've probably taken near 60 rides during that time. Always felt safer riding in a Waymo than an Uber or Lyft. It might be slower but it's all calculated driving. What I fear more is human driving error.
Im not sure which is more stressful, taking a Waymo in SF or riding the bus! The Waymo is stressful but less drunks, yelling, back-to-chest packing, rude drivers etc. If I have to, I prefer Uber with a real driver.
Vid ALMOST shows complete experience. Its new and exciting not having a driver but host overrated WAY to much in my opinion. Waymo had right of way the WHOLE time and drove FLAWLESSLY. Also exited before you were supposed to since you were not paying attention to what it was saying. Definitely try again and pay attention since it will make the experience WAY better!!!
I think it will always be nerve wrecking unless you get used to it. It's like teaching someone how to drive, you're just not 100% sure. Beside, having a different visual perspective in the passenger seat can be pretty scary.
Actually, for sensible people, riding in a Waymo is only nerve-wracking for about the first 5 seconds. And after about 5 rides it's actually quite boring -- as it should be.

7:55 The SUV tried to cut you off at the 4-way stop, but Way estimated that the other driver was at fault and was slowing down enough to let the Waymo continue its path. Would have been nice for you to give information and commentary rather than emotional reactions

@@KeanuReevesIsMyJesus They may be trying to spread out where their vehicles go to reduce congestion and even more likely, at this early stage, improve the likelihood of being safe. Similarly they're not on highways yet, not because they can't, but because mistakes at lower speeds result in less severe injuries than higher speeds. Those less congested streets offer them a safer place to be. It's self driving. It's brand new amazing stuff. They're doing a hundred thousand rides every week without major incident BECAUSE they're being careful. Eventually they'll get there and worry about being as efficient as possible.
Well if he's overreacting to everything of course people will roast him lol. It's going slow because it's driving the speed limit lol 💀. Waymo does 100k rides a week without any fatal accidents and is already testing on the highway. Waymo is pretty safe if they weren't they would already be suspended like Cruise lol.

"When it's not moving it's not so bad" (2:39) - sounds logical. Not sure why these self-driving things have to look like conventional cars, with steering wheels and driver seats etc seemingly superfluous. Wouldn't some comfy moving chairs on wheels or tracks like those in Wall-E be sufficient?
Prototype phase. Once it really works well, they can take them out but for now, they likely need people sitting in the driver's seat to test new functions.
This is not the way to go. Literally and figuratively. I would feel more regret psychologically if something goes wrong than in a human driven car. Kinda like how there is an extra horror dying in a submersible versus a boating accident. Thank God the driver who got cut off was paying attention and wasn’t a truck that couldn’t stop in time!

What's with all the spinning sh*t on that car?
It's the lidar sensors it uses that to measure the distance from everything around it accurately.
Is there some type of emergency stop ? There has to be, right ?
That is a very good question.
There is a pull over button yes when you press it waymo will immediately find a parking spot.
Does Waymo spend money in the economy? Does it buy itself a coffee and tip the waitress at the start of the day?
Maybe the people that work there does?
31 dollars for that little short ride only 1/2 way across the city? Lol! SF sucks!
Super annoying commentator
Just based on the number of accidents these Waymo cars are involved in, I would avoid them if I valued my physical safety.
How many do they make compared to humans lol. How many humans died this year in traffic vs in a waymo remember they make
100k rides a week and no one has died. I'm fairly certain waymo will get better it's new technology
@@pennytrui1149 There won't be a fatal accident driving around at 20 mpg in San Francisco, but people have been hit by Waymos and left in critical condition. There was a near accident just in this video. Like I said, I would avoid using one until the technology improves.
@davehugstrees show me a link where people have been hit by Waymo and left in critical condition that's false lol. I think you're thinking about cruise which got suspended and got their license taken away. It would definitely show up in the news if it was true
@davehugstrees just googled if waymo hit someone and put them into the hospital and found nothing send me a link please or tell me what to search let's see the evidence of this hit.
@@davehugstrees That was Cruise, not Waymo. Maybe get your facts straight, hm? FYI Cruise's license to operate was later revoked. Waymos are involved in far fewer accidents than human drivers.
