Google’s Waymo has initiated a pilot program offering robotaxi services across San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, Arizona. The operation began over a year ago, initially involving a limited number of test vehicles. The company is utilizing autonomous vehicles to navigate designated freeway routes, focusing on operational safety and data collection. The initial phase involves a carefully controlled testing environment with human oversight. Waymo plans to gradually expand the service’s geographical scope and operational capabilities, aiming to provide a ride-sharing option for individuals and businesses in these urban centers.
