Alphabet's Waymo says it's ready to start driving with no one behind the wheel in San Francisco.
Waymo, the self-driving unit of Alphabet Inc. GOOGL, -0.02% GOOG, -0.24%, said Monday that it is ready to introduce a fully autonomous-driving service in San Francisco.
Waymo’s distinctive electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles with sensors on the roof have become a common sight in San Francisco in recent years, driving back and forth learning the city’s streets — and occasionally hitting the same dead-end. Mawakana said the tests helped Waymo make adjustments to how its cars drive in San Francisco, including “careful improvements to our braking patterns” to handle the city’s many four-way stops and how to more comfortably drive the city’s many steep hills.
He did not say when the fully-autonomous service will begin, but said more details will be announced in the coming months. It was unclear if the fully autonomous service would be used for deliveries or as a taxi service.
