Waymo's "on the road" page [0] says that they're also currently testing in Mountain View, CA, Austin, TX and Kirkland, WA.
Their early rider program is only in Phoenix AFAIK.

- ocdtrekkie 9y agoThat's correct, they are testing in those cities, but AFAIK, only specially trained Waymo contractors are involved in those locations who can intervene during a failure. (Some parts of) Phoenix is the only place they're currently allowing passengers, where they conveniently, do not need to disclose any information about their safety record.
- dmix 9y agoThey mentioned "25 cities" in the article though. I wonder when they'll release the complete list. > Takeaway number two: You may come in contact with these cars sooner than you think, especially if you live in one of the 25 cities where Waymo is currently testing the tech.
- rwmj 9y agoIf someone is familiar with the US, are these cities all mainly wide freeway, low traffic? Or do they include cities with difficult, narrow, busy streets and also country lanes?
- maxyme 9y agoLast I heard the only place they are currently truly driverless is Chandler, AZ. A suburb of Phoenix. It has wide quiet roads and large freeways (I don't think they autonomously drive on there, always have seen a driver). Also very clean road lines and almost no weather.
