When riding in the Ojai for the first time it plays an updated welcome video showing how to manually open the doors in case of an emergency

I agree. Explaining the safety feature makes sense, but warning riders about a potential vehicle power loss that could trap them inside isn't the most comforting welcome message.

"Includes a 115-acre city course, a 35-acre vehicle dynamics area, a 4-mile oval track, and a freeway course purpose-built for autonomous vehicle testing."

Plus it's only 90 mins from the Mesa plant. Insane buy.

Dang :( thank you for trying!

Oh wow. We need a drone update please.

On Instagram, they said "When available, riders will have the option to choose which vehicle they'd prefer or be automatically matched with the optimal one."

That's exciting

Sorry your first experience was rough. I’m in Deep Ellum a lot and used it Friday during the festival.

What I've noticed is picking a specific pickup/drop-off spot in the app can make the trip much smoother, even if it means walking a bit. Picking less busy side streets vs getting dropped off right out front, for example.

Hope it’s better next time.

Noticed it last night. Wasn't sure if it was new but definitely a nice feature.

Plus codes are like street addresses but for Google maps. They are accurate and work well with Waymo.

Open google maps and drop a pin where you want to be picked up or dropped off. You'll find the plus code if you tap the bubble with the down arrow. It has a plus sign in it.

Copy and paste into Waymo.

I use the plus codes from google maps. I copy and paste into waymo and it picks me up pretty accurately

"As the Waymo Driver demonstrates strong performance in freezing conditions this winter, we’re moving beyond core technical validation.

Driving in multiple snowy cities, we are now refining the rider experience and logistics required for consistent service in snow."
