Wild West: Waymo Lets Go of the Wheel in Arizona

No driver, no driving, no problems (shoes and shirts required). Waymo has been testing its self-driving vehicles in Arizona since 2016, and the rollout of completely driverless cars in Chandler, Arizona now marks a major milestone for the technology and the company.

Waymo intends to eventually expand fully driverless cars throughout the Phoenix area through using operators behind the wheel of some cars and mapping new areas of the metro to expand the range of the autonomous cars. In another expansion of Waymo’s work, the company also recently announced it would test autonomous cars in Michigan’s winter conditions.
