Waymo Opens Driverless Robotaxi Service To San Francisco Employees

Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving unit, has begun offering its San Francisco employees fully autonomous rides, the company said Wednesday. From a report: Waymo will begin its rider-only operations within its "initial San Francisco service territory," which spans from the Presidio to the farthest corner of Candlestick Point, and gradually ramp up from there. The news comes nearly a month after Waymo said it would soon begin charging Bay Area residents for robotaxi rides with a human operator on board after securing a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It also follows the kick-off of Waymo's Trusted Tester program back in August, which involved San Franciscans signing up to hail one of Waymo's all-electric Jaguar I-Paces equipped with the Waymo Driver -- again, with a human operator onboard -- for free.
