This clickbait title makes it sound like it’s some sort of weird glitch, when they could just say “Uber partners with Waymo for SXSW”

I recently took a Waymo back to my hotel in Phoenix after a few drinks and it was a really pleasant experience. It didn’t take the freeways but it navigated the surface streets pretty much perfectly. It helped that it was about 25% the cost of an Uber at that time.

Robotaxis were Uber's goal from the beginning, right?

Does anybody know what percentage of a waymo ride's cost goes to Uber?
