Alphabet's/Google's Waymo
 

Phoenix/Chandler AZ are you guinea pigs-ready pioneers of the driverless world? Alphabet's Waymo officially announced its plans to launch an autonomous taxi service in the metropolitan-area of Phoenix after the testing period over the next few months. Waymo’s self-driving Chrysler Pacifica minivans will have light suburban traffic, consistently good weather and good-condition wider roads; better testing program conditions. Hardier Detroit testing program is slated next. Dunno about our LA traffic yet...
