Waymo Ojai Ride Test: Spacious Design but Gen 6 Driver Still Needs Polish
reed · x · 2026-08-20
After test riding Waymo's new Ojai vehicles, a user compared them to the Jaguar I-Pace, finding the Ojai spacious and beautiful while the I-Pace felt cramped and dated. However, the user noted that the Gen 6 driver is currently inferior to the Gen 5, exhibiting unnecessary braking and jitters, and once dropped the passenger off in the middle of the street instead of a parking lot. This is likely due to higher safety margins for the new rollout. The verdict favors the Ojai hardware, but expects the Gen 6 driver to improve and surpass Gen 5 over time.
