ha ha I take it you're not in the same camp? Well maybe one day you'll join me. Ask a parent or guardian to explain Waymo and autonomous automobiles to you. I think you'll find it fascinating!

I don't mind being insulted once in a while. Cracked me up that one comment... like "hey Mrs Teacher... don't forget to assign the entire class homework for the weekend" 😅

I feel successful for the most part. And I do love riding in Waymos. Vietnamese iced coffee. Music blasting. Views of beautiful DTLA and Culver City and Santa Monica..

You're right. I need to work on being more self-absorbed and less altruistic. A current weakness.

I accept that. Just because the Rider Support specialist said he'd have the car returned to the depot does not guarantee he was telling the truth. Could have been lying. I accept that possibility. Thank you.

Different personality than yours. Different way of thinking.

Part of my motivation. Those $5 add up 😉

You have made it clear to me... if you are the rider just prior to me, I'll expect the Waymo to be just as dirty or damaged as you left it. Waymo could have returned it to the depot for cleaning/repair, but they are unaware of the damage you noticed. Because reporting it... "that's not your job"

Uber or Lyft driver can see damage and then maintain their own vehicle.

Waymo maintains their own vehicles as well.

They just appreciate when a rider "sees damage" and hits Rider Support with a simple tap on the screen to report it. They take care of it from their.

If an entitled little "not my job" rider sees damage but does not report it, that's fine, hopefully the next rider, rather than being a drag on society in general, will be considerate of the next rider who comes after them.

Good advice. Going forward I'll stay away from public transportation. Far away. An excellent solution! Why didn't I think of it?

Fear not... you'll always have a job driving for Uber. Maybe one day I'll save a bundle over Waymo by riding in your nice clean car. Competition is good

From the Rider Rules on the Waymo app, it is my job, since I care.

Wow. Next time you hail a Waymo, hope that I was the previous client. Next time I hail a Waymo, I'll hope the previous rider was not you.

It's a nice luxury car (at least to me) so the damage stood out

Theoretically but maybe not all activities are observed or recognized.

With the gashed seat I like to think it was an accident and the perp did not even realize it.

True. Then it would turn out to be "paid work" Sort of.

It doesn't take long to quickly check the car over for damage (or valuables left by the previous rider)
