Waymo Launches Driverless Cars on Phoenix Freeways
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Engadget
Waymo is set to begin testing its driverless vehicles on highways and freeways in and around Phoenix, initially limited to company employees and their guests. The autonomous Jaguar I-Pace SUV will be used for these tests, with a focus on providing faster routes to Phoenix airports. Waymo has been gradually increasing freeway testing over the past year and aims to offer a true self-driving experience without a specialist in the front seat. The company's safety record is highlighted, in contrast to incidents involving rival Cruise's robotaxi service.
