Waymo - We're building the world's most experienced driver
Building 20,000 self-driving Jaguar I-PACEs
We partnered with Jaguar to create
the world's first premium electric self-driving vehicle: the Jaguar
I-PACE. We’ll start testing these vehicles this year and will add up to
20,000 I-PACEs to Waymo’s fleet in the next few years. That’s enough to
drive about a million trips in a typical day.
Talk about self-driving cars has been around so long that it’s almost lost the hope and excitement.
Waymo is launching a self-driving taxi
service in the suburbs of Phoenix.
The promise of
self-driving cars means more efficient commutes, more free time, fewer
traffic accidents, big leaps in AI, and all sorts of other game-changing
advancements.
As far as getting these things out to the public goes, Tesla insists
that its auto-pilot feature that offers limited self-driving
capabilities will be ready to drive itself from California to New York
very soon.
That means Tesla owners would already have a self-driving car
because the company just to push out a software update.
Don’t get too excited:
This is a scary economic shift. A lot of people are going to lose their
jobs. That’s a big factor in the dampened excitement. Also, with all
that extra free time in the commute, demanding bosses are just going to
expect more productivity.
