In a city known for sprawling freeways, a new type of vehicle will begin to merge into Los Angeles traffic.
Angelenos will now have to start sharing the road with autonomous ride-hailing services that are revolutionizing commuting. But at the same time, these vehicles raise essential questions about safety.
As of February, Waymo had been gearing up to start autonomous testing of its Jaguar I-Paces in Los Angeles without the presence of human safety operators, TechCrunch reported. Waymo has been mapping various Los Angeles neighborhoods such as downtown, Miracle Mile, Koreatown, and Westwood for a few years.
Come Oct. 11, Waymo will start to integrate into areas like Santa Monica and make its way to downtown LA, meaning Southern Californians will soon experience what people in San Francisco and Phoenix have been experiencing since 2022.
