Waymo said Oct 8 that it is opening its fully driverless ride-hailing service in suburban Phoenix to the public.

Alphabet Inc’s self-driving car unit began ferrying a select group of a few hundred customers, known as “early riders” in vehicles without safety drivers in the summer of 2019. After receiving feedback from those riders, who were bound by non-disclosure agreements not to discuss their experiences publicly, the company is making driverless rides in its Chrysler Pacifica minivans available to all users in the Phoenix area.
