Meanwhile, Waymo is now transporting more than a half-million passengers a month in California alone.
“The number of passengers using Waymo’s driverless ride-hailing service more than doubled in California during the three month period after the company opened up rides to the public, from ~200,000 passengers in May, to ~500,000 in August.” Gift link: www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...
