Autonomous Trucks
Waymo’s fourth robotaxi city will be Austin, Texas. Waymo said that it will kick off the process for a commercial robotaxi service in the city later this year. The company has been testing its vehicles on the streets of Austin since March, laying the groundwork for the eventual launch of a commercial ridehailing service. Waymo said that it will start accepting passengers in its fully driverless vehicles in the city later this monthSince then, a number of other autonomous vehicle (AV) companies have descended on Austin for testing and validation. Argo AI, which was backed by Ford before shutting down last year, tested its vehicles in Austin for a number of years.
