“Waymo has filed a request to the California Public Utilities Commission to expand robotaxi service in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles region. In the SFBA, it grows from just San Francisco to the whole peninsula, all the way to Sunnyvale but not including Marin, the East Bay and Santa Clara/Cupertino/San Jose. The LA area includes everything north and west of Compton, but not the San Fernando valley.”
This is massive I’m not really sure what the writer is on about with the title.
Waymo have been in the background making slow and steady progress for years. So much so most people probably don’t even know the extend of their self driving (without a human behind the wheel) developments.
This could be the beginning of the big push to actual serious market infiltration.
While walking, cycling, electric mobility, and trains are a must for a healthy city they do run into problems. Mainly the last mile problem and unexpected journeys, self driving cars will make a huge impact on the health of cities, traffic and ease of getting around.
I often see three Waymo cars driving down Bush Street in SF by themselves. It still surprises me every time.
Back when the cruise vehicles were still available, there used to be three of them constantly driving in front of my home. I think they were looping around the block waiting to be summoned.
It’s the future.
Just need the three boobed woman NSFW
Three tits, that’s awesome.
