Reply to comment by 04HondaS2000 in Waymo launches the world's most advanced robo-taxi service. Rides can be hailed to go anywhere in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, 24/7, and with no safety driver by lughnasadh

I saw a comparison that had an Uber at $27 and a Waymo at $4.50 for same route and time

Yeah but they’re both subsidising with VC money, just Uber less so now. It’s not a fair market comparison yet.

Would the UBER drive be paid more than $22.50 in this case?

Drivers for uber and Lyft do NOT make the money you pay to the company. It's not related at all. I drive Lyft and I get between 15%-35% of the fare. I've made $7.00 on an $80 ride before.
