At least in my area, Waymos are always more expensive than Ubers.

So, uh, you don't really tip your Uber drivers much then do you?

Right now, Tuesday 3pm, Waymo will cost me 13.76 cross town. UberX 10.95, Lyft 11.95. If I don't tip Lyft/Uber they'll be cheaper but I definitely don't tip the Waymo.

The pricing was 30% more the last few times I used them.

Just checked where I am (which, admittedly, is late at night), but for a random ride to a restaurant 2 miles away, Waymo was $9.34 and Uber was $8.91.

This does match my earlier observations, where the prices were pretty damn close.
