In a reply about Waymo experiences, the author notes Waymo now operates fully driverless (no safety driver) in Austin, something not yet available in San Francisco, where rides still include a supervised driver — though the driver just sits there. The author adds their Waymo experience has been very smooth, aside from long wait times.
