I took my first ride in a driverless car last week courtesy of Waymo, Google’s autonomous taxi service, which has received regulatory permission to test in the District of Columbia (DC).

The cars are mostly plying the streets for training and validation purposes, but Waymo invited a few journalists to check out the cars.
