Anyone in Los Angeles can now hail a self-driving car using the Waymo One app, as long as they’re not going to LAX or outside the 80-square miles of the company’s service area.
Some rideshare passengers say they’re still uneasy about riding in an autonomous vehicle, but others believe the robotaxis are safer than human drivers.
According to Waymo’s own safety data, the self-driving cars encountered 81% fewer airbag deployment crashes, and 72% fewer injury-causing crashes than car driven by humans.
