Never in a million years did I expect I’d trust a robot over a human driver.
But after years of rising prices, declining service, and watching Uber enrich its CEO while degrading both drivers and riders, I found myself choosing Waymo — reluctantly at first, then repeatedly.

So far, only rock legend Neil Young has expressed outrage — and bolted from Facebook.
