Waymo gets the go ahead to test self-driving ride-hailing in Arizona Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car spinoff, was granted a permit to operate as a Transportation Network Company by the state of Arizona back on January 24, clearing the way for it to begin operating a self-driving ride-hailing service in the state sometime later this year, Ars Technica reports.
The company has been testing its self-driving vehicles in the Phoenix area since the beginning of 2017, and started an early rider program last April that allows approved users to take trips in Waymo's cars.
The company said it plans to launch a driverless ride-hailing service in "several US cities" by the end of this year, meaning it's possible this launch in Arizona could be the first of several in the coming months.
