The news professionals are talking about now, curated by LinkedIn's editors. Waymo's self-driving cars logged the most miles of all driverless vehicle companies in California, according to a report from the state's DMV. Waymo drove 352,545 miles in the year ending in November 2017 (roughly 50% less than the year prior, due to shifting much of its fleet to Phoenix). In second place, GM's Cruise division logged 131,676 miles. "This is still Waymo (née Google) and GM's party, and everyone else is playing catch-up," says The Verge.
