It's hard for me to believe that Alphabet/Google even wants to be this huge robo-taxi service in the long run. I have to believe they want to be a technology supplier. Which means they need to enable robo-taxis-are-us to be a cheaper taxi service than Uber et al.

Price needs to be comparable, but not necessarily cheaper. Waymo rides are safer, cleaner, and more private than Uber rides.
