Waymo started testing autonomous vehicles with specialists behind the wheel in Philadelphia over the summer.
Self-driving ride service Waymo announced Wednesday that it is officially expanding in Philadelphia. Drivers have been testing the cars on the city's roads and there is no date when driverless rides will be available.
Cars are roaming Philly streets without a driver. We told you about this over the summer. Waymo is testing its fleet of autonomous cars in the city. You may have seen the vehicles on the road. Despite carrying a full suite of sensors, there's an actual human behind the wheel. Waymo says once their cars get the way of the land, they can begin driving autonomously.
If you're driving or walking around Philadelphia in the next few weeks, you could see one of these Waymo driverless taxis. Philadelphia is one of several cities where the cars will be on the streets. They will be collecting data only. Operators will be behind the wheel and taking control in congested areas and on highways.
Waymo, the autonomous driving technology company, is bringing a fleet of testing vehicles to Philadelphia this year.
