Robotaxis Narrow the Price and Wait Time Gap with Uber and Lyft in Bay Area

New data from Obi shows robotaxis, such as Waymo, competing with traditional ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft on price and wait times. Waymo's prices have narrowed the gap with human-driven services, and its wait times are now consistently shorter. Tesla's robotaxi service in the Bay Area is cheaper but has higher wait times. These developments suggest that robotaxis are moving closer to their promise of providing cheaper and widely available rides.
