NO humans required!? What riding a Waymo is like

What’s it really like to be driven by a robot? In this video, I jump into a Waymo self-driving taxi to find out if this AI-powered ride is as futuristic as it sounds. From the moment I stepped into the driverless car, I was curious—would it be a smooth, seamless experience, or a nerve-wracking ride with unexpected twists? I cover every detail: how the Waymo taxi navigates busy streets, handles stoplights and pedestrians, and even the quirks of communicating with a car that has no human driver.

I also share my personal reactions as the ride unfolds—yes, there were a few surprises along the way! Is this the transportation of tomorrow, or is it just a tech experiment not quite ready for the real world? By the end of the video, I give my full verdict on whether Waymo’s self-driving taxis are ready to replace human drivers or if they still need some work.

Stay tuned to see if I’d take a driverless ride again and whether you should consider it for your next commute!"
