Robotaxi Pricing Tightens as Waymo Narrows Gap with Uber

Obi data shows Waymo has cut prices in the San Francisco Bay Area, narrowing the average ride cost gap with Uber and Lyft (Waymo about $19.69 vs Uber $17.47 and Lyft $15.47). The shift suggests the novelty premium for robotaxis is fading, though Waymo still has longer wait times (~5.7 min) than Uber and Lyft. Tesla remains a wildcard with lower prices but limited driverless service and long waits. Analysts still favor Uber for upside among robotaxi stocks.
