(Read time: five minutes) - Fun fact: I never change this.

I was in London last week and had multiple issues with Uber and cab drivers. The streets of London are wonky, and in both cases, the drivers asked me if they could drop me off in places not exactly near my destination because it would be more convenient for them. In both cases, I asked them to drop me off where I was supposed to be dropped off because that’s what I paid for.

So yeah, I guess you could say I am both excited and bullish on driverless cars. However, I’m located in Southern California, not Northern California, so I won’t get to partake in the big Waymo party. The big news is out—Waymo One is now open to everyone in San Francisco.

Are you in or out on driverless cars?
