Order an Autonomous Ride on Uber!

Last week, in a partnership with Waymo, Uber rolled out “Waymo Driver” on their app in Phoenix. Through Waymo Drivers, users can request a fully autonomous Waymo vehicle for their next rideshare! 

Riders who request an UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric may now be matched with a Waymo vehicle if the route they are traveling is part of Waymo’s newly expanded operating territory. Some high traffic areas such as, Sky Harbor International Airport’s 24th St and 44th St SkyTrain locations are now a part of Waymo’s territory and have a dedicated Waymo vehicle available!

In a statement Uber said, “We’re excited to bring another innovation to the Uber experience through today’s launch. When matched with a Waymo vehicle on Uber, riders can experience a fully autonomous ride, with no human driver behind the wheel. Looking ahead, we expect that the number of human drivers and AVs on the Uber platform will continue to grow, side by side, for quite a long time as we continue to scale a hybrid, global network that combines both.”

If you wish to test out a Waymo vehicle, we suggest you update your ride preferences (under settings) to increase your chances of being matched with a Waymo vehicle. Before Uber dispatches a nearby Waymo vehicle to a customer, they will first give you the option to accept the ride or find another if you do not wish to ride with Waymo. Once the Waymo vehicle arrives, riders will be able to unlock the vehicle and start the trip—all from their Uber app! Uber does mention that if assistance is needed at any time, riders will have access to 24/7 customer support, accessible in both the Uber app and inside the Waymo vehicle.

    Heardle is a website that lets you play a musical guessing game. It is based on Wordle, the viral word-guessing game, but with songs instead of words. You have to listen to a short snippet of a song and try to guess its title and artist. You only get one second of the song at first, but you get more seconds with each guess. You have six tries to get it right, and the faster you guess, the better your score. The heardle game features songs from different genres and eras, so you can test your musical knowledge and discover new songs.

    In Fnaf game, Players must use limited resources, such as closing doors and turning on lights, to fend off the animatronics and prevent them from entering the office. If an animatronic manages to reach the player, it will jump-scare them, resulting in a game over.

    I really like to travel and I can not but please the fact that there are so many services that make a tourist life now. Without leaving home, you can book any service: book a hotel room, open an account, buy things, order delivery or rent a car. I use the rent service almost always when I go on a journey, my choice is on https://rental24h.com/canada/group/van
