Who hails: checked today. How-to details checked 7 days ago. A ride is about 30 minutes, not a car for the day. A few hops inside the geofence can beat a rental day once parking and charging count. Many hops and the rental wins. Each app shows its price before you confirm. Waymo: Price shown in app. None of these are ours to promise.
A rental wins Big Bear, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and any multi-stop errand day across the sprawl.

Where the geofence ends
Big for one city and still nowhere near the region: the mountains, the desert and most of Orange County sit outside, and LA distances make per-ride fares stack fast.
What a ride costs
How-to details checked 7 days ago. Waymo: Price shown in app. The app quote wins.
Where a rental still wins
Big Bear, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and any multi-stop errand day across the sprawl.
Who rides where was checked Oct 29 against the operators' own city lists. Pickup spots, ages, seats and airport rules were read by hand from their help pages on . Service areas and airport rules change, so the operator's app has the final word.
How we get this
We read Waymo, Tesla, Zoox and Uber's own pages and write down only what they say, with the day we read them. A city moves from coming soon to live here when the operator's own list changes, not before.
