Self-driving taxis already have; started to be operational in some of the most & ugrave; large cities, in many cases still operate in the form of tests but times are starting to be ripe and driverless taxi rides are becoming a reality; for an increasing number of brands, including Waymo, which could very soon extend its coverage to one of the cities & agrave; more important in the world. And so, after the first permits to circulate, now work is being done on monetizing future races in San Francisco, California.
Regarding this brand, the novelty; more recent concerns The State Department in charge of Motor Vehicles, which a few days ago approved a modified deployment permit that allows Waymo to charge the general population for fully autonomous rides on public roads .
The update paves the way for the Waymo One service, which will enable to charge San Francisco passengers for the service, just as it does in Phoenix. There & ograve; will consent; the company to also perform paid delivery services in the future.

So far Waymo has limited these runs to employees and “Trust Testers” covered by existing implementation and testing permissions. The company already had permission to charge for self-driving taxi rides but with a security driver present on board and is now catching up. The company & agrave; rival, Cruise, owned by of GM, already has; commercial driverless service authorization in parts of San Francisco. albeit with restrictions on schedules, speed; and weather conditions.
Any future Waymo One service in San Francisco will be; still relatively modest compared to those already; available in China, the largest country; advanced from this point of view. Baidu's robotaxi service, for example, is; available to the public in cities & agrave; Chinese more & ugrave; large, albeit with limitations reserved for self-driving cars.
However, San Francisco is; one of the cities more important in the world and certainly one of the most & ugrave; influential in the United States, and the advent of autonomous robotaxis will not be able to; than being a great business card.
