Google's Self-Driving cars are taking over San Francisco and LA

► Subscribe: @uptin I'm riding in Google's Waymo, the self driving car with more than 700 vehicles roaming the streets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. Buckle up, because this is the future.

My two buddies and I took a Waymo in SF today. Super smooth. We were in traffic that if I were the driver, there would have been stress and probably swear words, but Waymo just drove PERFECTLY. All of us agreed the Waymo drove better than any of the three of us (we're all 55+ with lots of driving experience). I want to buy a Waymo for my primary personal vehicle!

Added benefit is I don't need to tip.

Just rode one today in SF. One of the most amazing moments of my life: I went from not trusting it to fully trusting it within 2 minutes.

I did 4 trips when I went to San Francisco last month, they were amazing! I liked how you didn’t have to tip, you know exactly what car your going to get (and not those crammy Ubers), and it’s very user friendly like you can change the music etc. It was also really cool when it picked me up at the Fisherman’s wharf, everyone was looking at the car, it felt like we were celebrities!

That call center is in India, isn't it?

Took these 4x last year here in Phoenix. Quite the experience and no tip or driver who might be in a bad mood or disconnected. Had those with Uber/Lyft.

People do not understand how many technicians are needed and fleet-maintenance related jobs are required to support these fleets. I used to work for a similar company.

These vehicles don’t just magically work, there is a lot of set up required and troubleshooting the hardware stack for downed sensors. Of course there is the need for cleaning/charging.

But these vehicles have to undergo sensor calibration, inspections, as well as possibly pushing SWUs which means a guy with a computer needs to connect with the computer or other devices to flash new firmware.

Interesting paradox of this technology on one side and homeless people on the other. Great video as always!

Any collision should be charged to the company monitoring the car remotely. Remember they can remotely intervene as if behind the wheel.

We came to visit in San Francisco
And were so amazed of how many cars we saw. Of course we came to Google for info and found your amazing video. Thanx for the information.

Requiring the internet to even function means you can't even use them during a blackout when the electricity are out.

Thanks for that video Uptin! It was very well done.

One of the coolest things about San Francisco for sure

I love Waymo needs to be in every state

Can these be used to do food deliveries? So if you order from a store or restaurant you could just have the business put the food in the car and when it gets to the customer, the customer can just retrieve it? Cuz that would be amazing!

[Mrblobbster]

Just spent a few days in SF and absolutely loved the Waymos. Definitely the future of city transportation. Once the price will drop this will be a no brainer.

7:56 pulled over very eloquently
Ha ha.
Elegantly perhaps?

[Crbneum]

You make the best videos Uptin. Very informative and pleasant to watch!
