SAN FRANCISCO: Over the last few months, Waymo’s robot taxis have become an unmistakable part of the San Francisco experience.
Once a novelty service that opened last year for limited downtown trips, Waymo rides are now open to the general public, ubiquitous on the city’s hilly roads. The company, which is owned by Google’s parent, Alphabet, has also expanded onto California freeways and into Los Angeles.
