Does anyone know what Waymo is doing in Phoenix? I saw a lot of there cars there but they were always being driven by someone in the driver seat (Jan-Feb 2022).

Does anyone know what Waymo is doing in Phoenix? I saw a lot of there cars there but they were always being driven by someone in the driver seat (Jan-Feb 2022). They say they are driverless there but I never saw it and probably saw 500 Waymo cars/Waymo cars 500 times while there.
- jseliger 5y agoWaymo has a relatively small service area in Chandler, Mesa, and a very small section of Tempe. The first two are essentially Phoenix suburbs. Waymo doesn't reach some of the areas that would seem to be particularly useful: light rail stops (the Phoenix area now has about 20 miles of light rail: see the map tab at https://www.valleymetro.org/maps-schedules/rail https://www.valleymetro.org/maps-schedules/rail), or Arizona State University in Tempe, or some of the party/bar districts (like Mill Avenue in Tempe). I live in the Phoenix area and have wanted to try Waymo, but, sadly, it doesn't go anywhere useful for me.
