A study shows Waymo is more expensive than Uber and Lyft, but some people are willing to eat the extra costs
Briefly

A recent study by Obi found that while Waymo's robotaxi rides are on average pricier than rides from Uber and Lyft, many passengers still favor the Waymo experience. The study analyzed 90,000 price quotes in San Francisco, revealing that Waymo rides average $20.43, significantly more than Lyft's $14.44 and Uber's $15.58. Consumer sentiment highlighted that 70% of riders prefer Waymo, and while 42.7% would pay extra, the willingness depends on the additional cost. Price differences vary throughout the day, consistently showing Waymo's higher fares across all times.
"The average price of a Waymo ride is $20.43, which is $5.99 more than an average Lyft ride and $4.85 more than an average Uber ride."
