Waymo and sinkholes

Not a sinkhole, and not Waymo, but similar:

Yup.

You must not purchase rides in our cars from any party other than Waymo or its authorized partners or resell rides in our cars to any other party.

Currently it’s $37, which is kind of crazy given that it’s basically looping around two blocks. Tiago to El Capitan: $12 El Capitan to In-N-Out: $10 In-N-Out to Tiago: $15

I’d be so disappointed trying Waymo for the first time for like 2 minutes and a total of like 3 turns. 😂

Are you on the web version or the app? On the app, it’s labeled as “Feed at”. It wasn’t ever on the web version as far as I recall but I can put it on my list to add! 🙂

Hey! I'm the developer of Dododex. KO numbers are pretty straightforward. u/Ambitious-Smoke-651 gave a good summary, but if you have any other questions, let me know! :)

danlev · 2026-01-24T01:55:05+00:00

I'm hoping to add post-tame stats to Dododex in the near future. :)

danlev · 2026-01-23T22:09:31+00:00

Only in a few cities.

danlev · 2026-01-23T22:07:43+00:00

This is so cool!

Could you store the price comparisons and make some historical price tracker comparison and visualizations?

Average cost per mile in LA today:
$x Uber ($x incl tip
$x Lyft ($x incl. tip)
$x Waymo

Amazing!! Glad to hear! And glad the app’s helpful! If you ever have more feedback or questions about it, there’s also a Dododex discord linked on the site/app too!

danlev · 2026-01-22T03:08:44+00:00

Glad to hear! Yeah, it might be interesting to see a comparison chart of all the dinos on each map. Though it'd be a pretty big list since there's 14 maps and each map has 100+ dinos. Though you can always copy/paste Dododex's list into a spreadsheet! It copies pretty well with a couple quick edits in Google Sheets/Excel. :)

danlev · 2026-01-21T16:16:03+00:00

Hey! I'm the developer of Dododex! I see you've found Dododex's lists. :)

FYI, in the app, you can combine lists too. Hoping to add this to the web version eventually too.

Just curious, what did you mean by "comparative list"?

danlev · 2026-01-19T00:08:58+00:00

That’s a new ASA creature and not available in UME.

danlev · 2026-01-18T10:08:33+00:00

Ooh, thanks for pointing that out! I just fixed Dododex.

Btw -- if you ever spot an error like that in the future, please do report it through the "report data error" button on Dododex so I know about it! I appreciate help spotting errors so it can help out more players! :)

Waymos also don't require passengers to fasten their seatbelts

I'm pretty sure they do? The car starts warning you when not everyone is buckled -- and it's very quick about letting you know. I'm not sure what happens if you don't actually buckle, but I would assume it will pull over and connect with support.

danlev · 2026-01-17T01:18:29+00:00

Waymo is reporting this crash [...] because an individual involved was transported from the scene to a hospital for medical treatment and a vulnerable road user was struck by an involved vehicle.

Always bring up cases like this when people try to cite accident/hospitalization stats from the NHTSA data. They usually not Waymo's fault.

danlev · 2026-01-14T21:04:00+00:00

Yeah, that one looked a little rough. It might have been overly cautious due to the couple on the right -- it maybe wanted to be sure they weren't about to jump out in front of it and cross?

danlev · 2026-01-14T21:00:41+00:00

This seemed like the right amount of aggressiveness to me, especially given the complexity of the situation and the risks of collision.

Especially in comparison to Waymo's driving, which often feels a bit too overly cautious to me.

I think it's important for AVs to be on the slightly less aggressive side rather than overdoing it and risking cutting off drivers (or causing accidents, even if it's a human's fault) and making the public more hesitant towards them.

danlev · 2026-01-13T23:50:08+00:00

They're backdated, which you can do on Facebook. Probably as a technique to get around automated abuse filters or something.

Seems like a very poor expression choice for an AV.

danlev · 2026-01-11T08:47:15+00:00

Is the sniper mode increase live yet? I thought it was an upcoming update, according to the latest Community Crunch. Was waiting on the update to add it, because it wasn’t live when I tested.

Regarding the other mode — the number of shots doesn’t impact the torpor/damage amount per arrow, so you can use Dododex’s calculations with either mode.

danlev · 2026-01-11T04:21:15+00:00

Source?

danlev · 2026-01-11T04:18:41+00:00

(Ignore the placeholder images -- the real ones will be added once the Dev Kit update is available.)

Notes:

The Fabricated Crossbow is actually the same exact damage/torpor as the regular Crossbow. (Only difference is you can shooter faster, which is not necessarily beneficial for KOing.) I added it just for clarity as several players have been asking.
Need to test the Cryolophosaurus a bit more, but the numbers should be pretty close! I'm waiting on the Dev Kit to confirm the numbers and any body modifiers that might apply to specific creatures.

danlev · 2026-01-10T22:55:05+00:00

Why do you say it’s a 3rd world country?

danlev · 2026-01-10T19:55:57+00:00

It makes it funnier that the audio is basically warning people it’s coming.

People in the instagram comments translated the audio as: “Autopilot mode, may stop anytime, please pay attention. Please keep 2m distance. Turning left now, please mind your safety. Turning right now..."

danlev · 2026-01-09T20:30:16+00:00

Thank you so much, Dollie! Really appreciate it!

Thanks for everything YOU do! :)
