Waymo self-driving cars are here.

Waymo self-driving cars are no longer the future, they are here. For those who may not know Waymo is what most would see as the Google self-driving car. Self-driving vehicles will disrupt many industries. Think how self-driving vehicles will impact supply chain.

Waymo is a self-driving technology company that was founded in 2009 as a subsidiary of Alphabet, Inc. (the parent company of Google). Waymo is focused on developing autonomous driving technology, including hardware and software systems that enable vehicles to navigate roads and environments without the need for a human driver.

Waymo’s technology is designed to be used in a variety of applications, including ride-hailing, public transportation, trucking, and personal car ownership. The company has been testing its autonomous vehicles on public roads in a number of cities in the United States, and it has also conducted extensive testing in simulated environments.

In addition to developing self-driving technology, Waymo also provides various related services, such as mapping, data analysis, and vehicle maintenance. The company is considered to be a leader in the autonomous driving industry and is actively partnering with a variety of companies and organizations to advance its technology and bring it to market.
