- rhino369 9y agoBut right now there is a driver in the car ready to take over. If they can do it without drivers being in the car, then driverless cars are just around the corner. I'm skeptical.
- ilaksh 9y agoYeah that's old news. I am referring to recent articles from a few weeks ago where someone suggested that there was at least a rumor that they might launch without any actual driver to the general public in Phoenix this fall sometime.
- Fricken 9y agoThe rumour traces back to a single anonymous source reported on by the Information. I hope it turns out to be true, because in 2012 I made a 5 year prediction for it and it's always nice to be correct about things, but we'll have to see. From the outside looking in, they look to be pretty close, but only the people at Waymo really know how close they are to doing it.
