The wiper and blinker thing had me rolling my eyes, but the rest seem good.
It seems inevitable that most Waymos move to trolley, bus style body designs... they just have to retrofit normal cars for now but I can't imagine that's long term for most robotaxis.
Getting in and out of something with a low step and without all the weird leaning you have to do for a sedan will be a big win.
TDD Reader Comment via e-mail: This is awesome. What do you think about drink or coffee dispensers in a Waymo? They could team up with a local coffee chain to dispense coffee on rides.
We typically tell Uber drivers to invest in things that are evergreen and will allow for multiple uses so the marginal cost stays low. For example, charging cables cost about $10 and can be used indefinitely across hundreds or even thousands of rides.
I like these a lot.

This might be tough and could get messy.
