The emergence of driverless robotaxis is gaining momentum, with companies like Waymo and Zoox leading the charge. A recent ride in a driverless Waymo from the Mission to MoMa cost approximately $20, showcasing the affordability of this new mode of transportation. The experience was described as smooth, confident, and safe, highlighting the potential of robotaxis to revolutionize public transportation by offering private, cheaper, and safer alternatives to traditional methods. Notably, Zoox, a competitor in the robotaxi space, is also making strides, positioning itself as a significant player in the industry. This growing competition signals a transformative shift in the landscape of urban mobility. Elon Musk and Tesla face new competition in this evolving sector. Previously, Waymo still had drivers in Mountain View.
Watch out Elon Musk. There’s another robotaxi play in town — and it’s backed by a highly-regarded name in the business of EVs. https://t.co/NR4zt7lVrD

Another highlight of the week – riding in a driver-less Waymo. When we moved out of Mountain View, they still had drivers. Very smooth and confident, and less conservative than I imagined. I never once felt in danger. It was ~$20 to go from the Mission to MoMa. https://t.co/VaG5l7rZqP
Another (REAL) robotaxi. In other words, not a Tesla. #Zoox https://t.co/gk434TLz13
