Here we go.
We have just requested our first self-driving car in Miami, and we’re waiting for the Waymo to arrive to take us across town.
Driverless cars may sound like science fiction. But the future is here. And we’re ready to get inside.
You may have already seen Waymo cars on Miami streets. They’re the white electric vehicles with spinning sensors on top and no drivers in the front seat. And as the company, a Bay Area-based subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, begins to invite riders on a waitlist to start requesting rides in Miami, you may be able to get around the 305 in a driverless car soon.
Waymo offers robotaxi services in 10 cities, including Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, San Francisco and Orlando. The company has logged more than 200 million paid rides, and as of late last year, Waymo was clocking around 400,000 rides per week, Reuters reported. #miami #dade #waymo #driverless #car #southflorida
