Waymo Launches Rides on Phoenix Freeways
Waymo has officially launched its rides on freeways in the Phoenix area, marking a significant milestone for the autonomous vehicle company. After over a year of testing freeway drives with its employees, Waymo is introducing this option to its users. The company emphasizes a gradual rollout, meaning not all riders will immediately have access to freeway routes.
Access to Freeway Rides
For those who currently do not have access, Waymo offers the ability to join an interest list via its app. Users who enroll will be notified when freeway access becomes available to them.
Operational Areas
The launch of freeway rides is not limited to Phoenix. Waymo plans to offer this service in three major locations:
- Phoenix
- Los Angeles
- San Francisco Bay Area
Partnerships and Future Plans
In a related development, Waymo recently partnered with DoorDash to provide autonomous delivery services in Phoenix. This collaboration highlights Waymo’s commitment to expanding its services beyond passenger rides.
As Waymo continues to enhance its offerings, users can anticipate more features and expansions in the future. The ongoing evolution of autonomous technology promises to reshape urban transportation.
