Its employee will be the first guinea pigs , and initial testing will start outside rush hour with “ less than a fistful ” of vehicles . For those who did n’t already bonk , Waymogot the approvalfrom California governor to institutionalize for self-reliant rides on the freeway back in March , so this is a tone toward reach that .
The move comes as Waymo — flush with an additional$5 billion investmentfrom Alphabet — pushes to expand in SF . Last calendar week , Waymo added 10 square milesto its robotaxi service area to let in city surrounding the urban center , including Daly City , Broadmoor and Colma .
