Across the fifty samples, the average human-driven ride-hail price was $28.14, while an identical ride with a Waymo robotaxi cost $9.50 more — though that didn't include a tip for the human driver. Assuming you added a 20 percent gratuity, you'd still be paying about $3.87 more.

That's notable but not necessarily deal-breaking. Speed is where the gap broadens. The average time to pick up for Waymo was 7.2 minutes, compared to 3.4 for ridesharing, meaning that you'd be waiting twice as long on your robo-ride.
