Riding the Future: My Unforgettable Journey in a

Waymo One is Google's self-driving robotaxi service, currently deployed for public use in Chandler, Arizona. It works like Uber, and passengers select a destination from the app, and the vehicle takes you there. It's weird for about 30 seconds and then you get used to it. If I weren't filming, I would have just been on TikTok, probably!
The driving experience is something like a new 17-year-old driving - a bit jerky, but ultimately it felt safe. The unprotected left towards the end was a touch alarming, but the car was pulling out so its lidar sensors could see up the road.

Imagine the future, me in the back watching TV, surfing the internet, grabbing a cold beverage and maybe even having a meal...all while driving through L.A. traffic. Yep yep. Sounds good to me!

I think it’s pretty cool for an autonomous vehicle. I mean, it still probably needs improvement, but it’ll only get more advanced.

Less accidents on roads in my opinion with self driving. IDK if California has self driving service yet but would love try it

[@TheDiplomat27]

Thanks for the video!

[@KittyNinjas]

So cool! Thanks for your video

[@joshmalszycki2530]

Yes I would do the driverless car,when it comes to Lacrosse and Onalaska,Wisconsin!

[@rickkay9548]

great drive!

[@Native722]

This is gas powered, we need all electric!

[@nikitarochiramani2124]

Great video! I’m performing an academic research on fully automatic self driving cars and would be delighted to learn more about your experience with Waymo. Please let me know if you are open to chat more about it.

I just had a Waymo coming towards me off of a busy street onto a small side street. There was no speed limit sign and I am guessing it was going 5-10 mph in this 30 mph zone. There were 3 cars behind it and one waiting to turn. As soon as it and the other 4 cars passed me, it pulled over and the 4 cars went around (rather quickly). From what I have found, the crashes involving Waymo cars were when the Waymo was going well under the speed limit. One specifically was going 50 in a 65. For curiosity's sake though, how much did that little jaunt cost you?

[@leonardbrinkman4410]

Yes because there is a difference between Uber and waymo. But I think what is about to happen here that the basically went waymo gets into Seattle soon there will be a lot of people using the service including blind people who have to get to work. As a matter of fact that's why there's a place called The lighthouse for the blind. Tony said about bus taking them to work let's see away mode self-driving car take them to work. It would be very good. And it would save gas!

[@gf88888]

can the passengers press an emergency button or something to stop the car in case of an unforeseen situation ?

Hell yeah it will be cool….

[@dph9885]

What does "unprotected left" mean?

[@francisphillips53]

Wow.. there’s the future. Sucks for human drivers though. 😰😰😰😰😰

I don't like that right turn on red behavior. As a cyclist, I was alerted when drivers would keep inching forward when they had a red light. I don't like the red-light creepers when I'm driving, either. All things equal, I'd prefer if these cars would actually stop at red lights.

[@vidsuals9987]

Does it have destruction protection from hard working unemployed taxi drivers 🤔

[@JustSomeGuy641]

Them spinning sensors would get plugged with bugs after about 20 miles of driving around here. Probably not a problem in a sterile concrete jungle. Going to be lots of stuff smoked in these things and tons of babys made I imagine. Bring a blacklight next ride.

You don’t have to talk to anyone.
