Ride of the Future: Waymo's Self-Driving Cars Hit Miami Streets

Waymo, a pioneer in self-driving technology, has started offering fully autonomous rides in Miami. This marks a significant step in the company's journey, as it plans to bring this service to more U. S. cities soon. The company, which began as part of Google's self-driving project, now operates over 1, 500 vehicles without safety drivers or monitors. The race to make self-driving cars a reality is heating up. Waymo is leading the pack, but others like Tesla are not far behind. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, recently announced plans to launch its own robotaxi service in several U. S. cities by the end of the year. However, the road to autonomy is not without bumps. Robotaxi companies have faced challenges, including incidents that have raised questions about safety. But as technology improves and more data is collected, these companies hope to prove that their services are safe and reliable. Waymo's expansion is a clear sign that the future of transportation is here. But will the public embrace this new way of getting around? Only time will tell.
