(Original title: Google deploys commercial driverless fleet before the end of the year in the industry: bold enough)
On October 13, Beijing time, foreign media CleanTechnica reported that an anonymous source revealed that Waymo, Google's self-driving company, is set to launch a fully autonomous ride-sharing fleet before the end of this year. The service will begin in Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix.
Phoenix has long been one of the key testing grounds for Google’s self-driving technology. The city was chosen for several reasons, including its favorable weather conditions, fewer pedestrians, and wide, well-maintained roads. These factors make it an ideal location for testing and deploying driverless vehicles.
Perhaps most importantly, Arizona is known for having some of the most flexible regulations for autonomous vehicles in the U.S. In the state, companies can test self-driving cars without a human driver in the vehicle, as long as a remote operator can take control when needed and is held accountable for any incidents that occur. This regulatory environment has made Arizona a major hub for self-driving tech development.
With less than three months left in the year, launching a full-scale autonomous ride-sharing service by the end of 2023 would be a bold move. Even if the timeline is pushed to 2018, Waymo is still ahead of competitors like Lyft and Uber in terms of real-world deployment.
However, Google isn’t just racing against time — it’s also working through technical challenges. According to an anonymous source, there have been instances where the response from the control center to the autonomous vehicles was delayed, which could affect safety and user experience. Despite these hurdles, the company remains committed to bringing its vision of a driverless future to life.
