Looks like @Waymo has cracked the code for driverless ride hailing in San Francisco. The user experience blows Uber out of the water, and with zero marginal labor costs, Waymo likely has the greatest flexibility to price everybody else out of the market once it decides to compete head to head.

Still a drop on the bucket compared to Uber, but damn, once Waymo opens the floodgates….

✨Using✨ a design system or ✨contributing ✨to a design system are not even close to actually building and maintaining a design system.

Please, don’t say you’ve “worked on [company]’s design system” if you’ve only done the prior. It’s incredibly misleading.

[Mercury @mercury]

The next evolution of Mercury is here.
