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.

The want it because time you spend driving is time you could have spent browsing the web and therefore looking at Google ads

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