Because I've been on over 50 rides totalling nearly 1000 miles, so I know what to expect. They're very consistent and very cautious; the radar sees everything (you can see what it sees on a screen), even once avoided an accident I would have never seen coming.

Like I said, the kinks have to be worked out, but they're still 10x safer than any human driver IMO. I'll take a Waymo any day over an Uber/Lyft driver. The best part is you don't have to tip! Hell, you don't even have to talk to anybody, because there's nobody to talk to! All of my rides are blissfully silent.
