Waymo Launches Driverless Rides in San Diego | San Diego News

from San Diego News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Waymo just got the go-ahead to launch fully driverless rides in San Diego — no human drivers needed — marking a major leap for self-driving tech in a major California city. After years of testing, they’re rolling out their Ojai vehicles with infrastructure already in place, starting in select areas and expanding over time. Critics, including transit officials and taxi workers, worry about oversight and job losses, but Waymo’s public launch is set for before summer’s end — signaling that autonomous ride-sharing isn’t just coming, it’s here.
