"Waymo's Driverless Robotaxis Cleared for Expansion in California"
California regulators have granted Waymo permission to expand its robotaxi service to include highways in the Bay Area and large parts of Los Angeles, despite opposition from local officials concerned about the impact of driverless cars on city streets. Waymo plans to take a careful and incremental approach to the expansion, with no immediate plans to deploy its robotaxis on highways. The decision by the California Public Utilities Commission allows Waymo to deploy its robotaxis on local roads and freeways at speeds up to 65 mph, marking a significant expansion for the company, which has been offering its 24/7 robotaxi service in San Francisco and Phoenix for months.
