Google's self driving car is now Waymo.

Is it me or does it seem to close to the word Wham?

I agree pc747. I can hear the "Wham-O" nickname already. Poor choice.

"a new way forward in mobility."

AND WAYMO is the best you can come up with... you've got that many words and letters and WAYMO is the end result...

Hopefully these things don't always look like this... I love the idea of self driving cars... please, get rid of all the traffic I've gotta deal with daily, let me play games and/or sleep on my way to wherever... but waymo... I can't even.

Only when it kills it's first pedestrian.
That thing would probably bounce off of most American pedestrians and only hurt them if it has a Note7 battery as a power source

Sad, so much talent, up the nose.

OK I wouldn't feel it role over the little car, even if you and George were inside the car partying...

Life was so much simpler when Google made ideas and products simply started with Google or the letter G.
Gcar would have worked, heck even Google Car would have not left an oil stain on the pavement.
