Waymo set to launch fully driverless vehicle service in San Francisco
Waymo, the self-driving unit of
$Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ , said Monday that it is ready to introduce a fully autonomous-driving service in San Francisco.
“We’re now ready to begin introducing the Waymo Driver in fully autonomous mode — with no specialist behind the wheel — in the city as a major step on our path to deploying a fully autonomous commercial service,” Waymo Co-Chief Executive Tekedra Mawakana said in a blog post.
Earlier this year, Waymo won state regulators’ approval to charge for taxi rides in its autonomous cars with a safety driver present. But it will need a separate approval to charge for completely driverless rides.
Phoenix is currently the only market where Waymo operates a fully autonomous taxi service to the general public.
