Waymo has been working on autonomous vehicles since it began as the Google Self Driving Car project at Google X in 2009. Spun out from it's parent, and renamed Waymo in 2016, the iterations have developed. So today, June 2024, 15 years later, Waymo opened up it's waitlist, and made it's autonomous ride-hailing service up to anyone in San Francisco. It just so happens that I cleared the waitlist and took my first Waymo ride just a few days ago. And I recorded the experience.
In this exciting episode of "Turn the Lens," take a ride with me across San Francisco, from the Dogpatch to City Hall, On the ride, we'll review some of the developments I've experienced first hand, autonomous transportation in general, and the experience of riding today's start of the art autonomous vehicle.
The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. You can get a taste for yourself. Download the app, and take an autonomous ride. If for some reason, that's not in the short term future, share this ride with me.
