Go your own Way(mo)

Axios Miami's Martin Vassolo tested one of Waymo's self-driving cars earlier this year in Little Havana.

His review: It was a smooth and surprisingly human-like ride.

His tips for navigating an eventual rollout in Pittsburgh or visiting a city where they're already on the road:

✅ Do's:

• Tap the tablet: The in-car screen allows passengers to control music, climate and ride functions.
• Wear your seatbelt. It's the right call in every ride, but the Waymo won't start moving until you buckle up.
• Try out the back right seat. You get a good view of the steering wheel spinning to make turns (if that doesn't freak you out).

❌ Don'ts

• Don't sit in the driver's seat. Feel free to sit shotgun, however.
• Don't touch the steering wheel or other driving controls. "Somebody from rider support will get on and say, 'Please don't do that,'" Waymo's Ethan Teicher told Axios.
• Don't smoke or vape in the car.
• Don't expect the vehicle to speed. The vehicle does not mimic other drivers' behaviors.
