How is this useful in any way? by definition it's a subscription for people already using the service in the (few) supported cities. If I use it in Denver, why would I care to have early access in Washington?

If you travel a lot for work and would prefer to use Waymo over Uber or renting.

I assume it’s for business travelers.

A lot of people (myself included) would pay $30 to get Waymo a month earlier in their home city.

yeah, as with so many things, sounds like enterprise users are the target. and enterprise users travel to different cities all the time!

i assumed it's for influencers who want to make a video of the new city or something
I imagine they'll try to get new users to sign up for a month of Premier to try Waymo early once it becomes available in their city. Basically juice a few thousand early adopters for 30 bucks each, which also lets them judge demand and gives them some extra revenue to build out their vehicle/parking network before the full launch.
