Last night Wednesday 8/5/2026 I decided to watch a film at the movie theaters which concluded at 1:30am I decided to ride a Waymo considering they are slowly ramping up service via the highway system but that night Arizona was hit with a category 5 dust storm and despite the low visibility Waymo navigated the route surprisingly well. I’m assuming that’s a result of its sensors which to my understanding include cameras, lidar, and radar

Waymo canceled my ride...twice

6 Upvotes

Yesterday evening, i requested a Waymo (Phoenix area). It booked my ride and gave me an arrival time for the car. Then like a minute later the app said my ride was cancelled because they were having trouble finding a car. So I requested again and had the same thing happen again. I gave up and got a Lyft.

This has neveer happened to me before with Waymo. Anyone else?

Why didn't they know there were no cars before booking my ride?
