The expansion in Phoenix is yet another sign of Waymo’s accelerated
push towards commercialization. It comes a day after Waymo secured its
driverless deployment permit from the California Department of Motor
Vehicles, which allows Waymo to charge for autonomous services, like
delivery, in San Francisco.
More importantly, it’s a prerequisite to securing the California
Public Utilities Commission’s own driverless deployment permit, which
Waymo needs to operate a commercial robotaxi service with no human
safety operator in the city.
Waymo’s service in downtown Phoenix will mirror the one it has
operated in Chandler, Arizona since 2020. It will be a paid rider-only
service that’s available 24/7 to anyone who downloads the app and
hails a ride Waymo’s service area.

Will all the Uber drivers soon be unemployed?
