Waymo gears up for Seattle debut of driverless ride-hailing cars

Waymo has made its way to Seattle, and while the driverless cars are not yet allowed to operate in the city, it is in line for an expansion of the company’s ride-hailing service.

The self-driving car company has about a dozen vehicles in Seattle and communities on the Eastside, and trained Waymo autonomous specialists are manually driving them around to get a feel for the area.

Waymo is using its all-electric Jaguar I-Pace for this phase in the Seattle area.

The system has completed more than 100 million miles of fully driverless rides.
