welcomed Waymo's presence, expecting it to enhance local security and tranquility

what? how could it do anything for “local security and tranquility”?

Re: security: I imagine many women being more comfortable getting a waymo than an Uber/Taxi. It's anecdotal and from a different country, but most of my female family/friends have had an uncomfortable interaction in a taxi, like unrequested sexual advances or things like that.

Would you choose to be driven by waymo, taxi driver, or a bear?

The bear obviously. I need to ask him a few questions.

I want my Johnny Cab from Total Recall. Tells me “hell of a day! Hah hah!”

Then we get to watch them try to run over people that stiff them in fairs and damage the unit.
