Waymo LLC announced on Tuesday that it will start offering its self-driving ride services to the San Francisco Bay area, including Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto, and parts of Sunnyvale. The autonomous vehicle company, owned by Alphabet Inc., said service will initially be limited to users of its app living in the areas but that it hopes to expand the service.
"This is where Waymo began and where we’re headquartered. Now we’re bringing seamless rides, safer streets, and sustainable transportation to our local community," Chief Product Officer Saswat Panigrahi said. Last week, Uber announced it is adding Waymo vehicles to its ride-hailing app in Austin, Texas.
