Waymo trials fully driverless rides in San Francisco

Waymo is now operating fully driverless cars in more than one city. The Alphabet-owned brand has started trials of self-driving Jaguar I-Pace EVs in San Francisco with no backup drivers. The tests are limited to employees hailing rides in the company's early service area, but this still represents a major milestone -- the company claimed in a message to Engadget that it was the first anywhere to offer autonomous ride-hailing in two different territories. You'll also see an expanded footprint in Arizona. Waymo said it will expand fully autonomous rides to downtown Phoenix, starting with employees.
