SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's Waymo has applied for the final permit it needs in California before it can sell fully autonomous rides, the company told Reuters on Tuesday.

A decision on its application, which was submitted Monday to the California Public Utilities Commission, could take months. General Motors Co's Cruise is the only company with the permit so far and has charged for driverless rides in San Francisco since June.
