I tested Waymo, Google’s 100% autonomous robotaxi in Los Angeles. A driverless car that takes you to your destination all on its own is the future, and it begins today. Between moments of silence, adrenaline and questions about safety, I had a unique experience.
Waymo, Google’s self-driving car, is already operating in several American cities. Is this the end of Uber drivers? Are we ready for this future?
