Now that they don't need to even implicitly pay for it via labor costs they can have as much deadheading as they want.

Waymo really seems to have a deadheading problem. In California: "Between January 2025 and June 2026, Waymo's deadhead share [of VMT] fell from 53% to 41.9%, yet still exceeds human-driven ride-hailing by more than 50%." More deadheading --> More traffic Preprint: doi.org/10.21203/rs....

Though my most pro-Waymo take is that they should be sold as much curb parking space as they want. Anything is better than private car storage lol.
