DETROIT - Waymo Chief Executive John Krafcik said the self-driving vehicle company is now offering limited “rider-only” trips in Phoenix, Arizona, and is looking beyond the robo-taxi business to generate future revenue, including delivery services.
He did not say when or how quickly Waymo would expand “rider-only” services. Riders signed up for the fully automated service have signed non-disclosure agreements, he said. Waymo would consider selling its driver technology to a carmaker that wants to offer automated driving as a feature either branded as Waymo or using the vehicle maker’s brand. “Both would be interesting,” Krafcik said.
Waymo’s careful rollout of self-driving vehicle services comes as many automakers and rival self-driving vehicle companies are scaling back or consolidating their efforts. The high costs and technical challenges of developing a safe, reliable automated driving system coupled with uncertainty about regulation have put a chill on the automated driving industry’s previous exuberance.
These robo-taxi companies should be required to deposit $100M into an account they cannot withdraw from in order to cover future lawsuit payouts that we all know will come.
I feel in the HIGH TECH WORLD / some people in INDIA have SWISS ACCOUNTS but many doubts that THEY ARE UNABLE TO USE THEM AS wicked conditions by FATIMA BEGUM GANG ? true or false ? MAY BE I HAVE ONE & Fatima is using it for RACKETS may be ? what sort of rackets ? CBI / INR UM*%%
'If you need a driver's license, it’s not self driving...'
Big RIP to the first 10 years of riders who will give their lives in order to advance this technology instead of pushing for better public transportation 🙏
