California issues its first approval for an autonomous ride service

Which company did you think would be most likely to offer an autonomous ride service in California? The state's Public Utilities Commission has revealed that self-driving car startup Zoox will be the first to transport the public. It's joining a pilot program where it will offer free rides with a backup driver in the front. It's not certain when the pilot will start, although Zoox has already stated plans to launch paid service in late 2020. Zoox has already been conducting internal tests, but hasn't talked much about its plans until very recently. The company likely won't be alone for long.
