Ask HN: If Waymo is so groundbreaking, why does LA transport still suck?

surges like uber(expensive) coworkers agree too: at night when i get off work. bus lines go down at night too leaving stranded having me walking 14 blocks to reach(hopefully catch) the last bus thats gets me closest to home..

None of the transport options you mentioned are Waymo? Why would Waymo fix a lack of buses?

Car dependency is a feature of LA, not a bug. And not a secret one gradually discovers — LA is famous for exactly that. How would Waymo make anything but the smallest dent? How many people who don’t have a car in LA can afford Waymo or Uber?
