(Reuters) -Alphabet's Waymo said on Wednesday it will begin manual testing of its autonomous vehicles at Newark Liberty International Airport, as the firm looks to bring its robotaxis to one of the three main airports serving the New York City area.
The robotaxi firm has grown slowly but steadily over the years in the United States despite tough regulations and expensive technology. Now, it is picking up speed through partnerships with ride-hailing platforms and fleet operators at a time when Tesla is rolling out its long-promised robotaxi service in the country.
