Waymo is Google is surveillance capitalism
Every ride you take with Waymo feeds into Alphabet's profiling machine. Your location history, travel patterns, destinations, timing. All of it gets added to the existing surveillance infrastructure, the military contracts, the data brokers.
And the company's already showing it can't be trusted with that power. Dr. Nasser Mohamed got flagged as a terrorist risk by Waymo just for having an Arabic name. The profiling works exactly how you'd expect it to work when you hand a tech giant with no accountability total visibility into your movement.
You're not getting a taxi ride. You're paying Google to surveil you.

Dr. Nasser Mohamed sued Waymo’s parent company, Alphabet, in November over civil rights violations. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/an-s-f-doctor-sued-waymo-allegedly-flagging-22263676.php?taid=6a0a856132982f000154d093&utm_campaign=trueanthem%2B3988&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
