Pro-robotaxi advocates argue that they will ultimately become a cheaper transportation option for the masses through high usage and low labor costs. But we're a long way away from that happening, according to new data from rideshare aggregating app Obi.

Their report, which was exclusively shared with Senior Transportation Reporter Sean O'Kane, found that the average price of Waymo during a monthlong window was $20.43. Uber came in at $15.58 and Lyft was at $14.44 during the same time period. And Waymo still comes in as markedly more expensive on median prices and average prices per kilometer. And during peak hours, Waymo rides were $11 more expensive on average.

Obi did additional surveys with rides, and found that for many riders, that's actually fine. Nearly 43% said they'd pay more for a Waymo, and 16.3% were ok with paying $10 or more than a competitor ride.
