Robotaxi is Live in Mesa!

Post by Linked »

Waymo, Google's driverless taxi company, has finally opened their service to the public "in a 50-square-mile area in the Phoenix suburbs of Chandler, Tempe, and Mesa."

Any of our Phoenix NOMmies give it a try yet?

I have seen their vehicles around time on a number of occasions, but I was not aware that they were fully open to the otherwise Uber-using public.

They released a blog post saying it is now open to the public yesterday, October 8th.

It's hard to overstate what a huge deal this is.
Learn to doubt the stories you tell about yourselves and your adversaries.
