Here's why we should hope self-driving tech is ready soon - Axios
Waymo, whose driverless minivans are already shuttling a limited number of passengers in suburban Phoenix, Arizona will soon begin delivering packages for UPS as part of a new strategic partnership announced on Wednesday. Why it matters: Widespread use of robo-taxis is still years away, but automated trucks are quickly gaining momentum toward deployment. Waymo's ambition is to use the same self-driving technology in its minivans -- what it calls the Waymo driver -- to automate big rigs and delivery trucks like the ones UPS uses every day.
