> picking Waymos instead.
Can you pick Waymos? I was in Austin with my daughter who Ubers quite a bit (because dear God there's nowhere to park in that damned city) this weekend. She called an Uber and a Waymo showed up and she was grateful because she prefers them too, but she said that she's not aware of a way to specify that you just want a Waymo.
Here in the Bay Area, Waymo is a separate app, not integrated into Uber like it is in Austin.
