- Waymo became the first U.S. company to offer driverless robotaxi rides on Bay Area freeways, including Los Angeles and Phoenix.
- Service extends down the Peninsula to San Jose, including Mineta San Jose International Airport, targeting early adopters initially.
- The company collaborates with California Highway Patrol to maintain safety, adhering to speed limits around 65 mph on freeways.
- Local officials express concerns over safety and limited local control despite Waymo’s efforts to ensure system reliability.
That’s a tremendous risk that Waymo’s taking right now, in their ambition to scale as quickly as they can with as little local control as possible — they’re risking the ultimate tragedy.— Dave Cortese, a state senator expressing concerns about the safety of the vehicles.
