Waymo Prices Skyrocket & Riders Shrug 🤷 | DoorDash Driver Turns Car Into a Mobile Microwave 🍕| Ep 256
Mo from Mo Side Hustles on TikTok joins the podcast to discuss the latest in gig work, including Waymo's pricing strategy, surprising DoorDash statistics, and a viral delivery driver story.
• Market Wagon provides a guaranteed income alternative to app-based gigs with farm-to-table deliveries
• Mo finds Uber Eats profitable in her area with high-paying quests despite GPS navigation issues
• Waymo charges about $10 more per ride than Uber/Lyft but customers still pay for the novelty of driverless cars
• A DoorDash driver with mobility issues went viral, resulting in a GoFundMe raising over $21,000
• 50% of DoorDash drivers are women, challenging common assumptions about delivery worker demographics
• Only 8% of gig workers operate full-time, while 92% use platforms as supplementary income
• Amazon Flex and Roadie offer alternative high-paying opportunities for those willing to strategize for surge pricing
• A Waymo vehicle's failure to yield to emergency vehicles demonstrates ongoing safety concerns with autonomous vehicles
