The California Public Utilities Commission has granted Waymo the necessary approval to launch passenger services in San Jose. This milestone makes Waymo the first driverless taxi service authorized to operate in the city, expanding from its previous service areas in the Bay Area. Mayor Matt Mahan welcomed this development as a step towards modernizing local transportation. Waymo has committed to safety and accessibility and will adhere to guidelines that include operating on designated roadways. The company hopes to integrate into San Jose's transportation framework, although a start date for their service has not yet been announced.
We're grateful for the support of Mayor Mahan and those in San Jose who want to make streets safer, transportation more accessible, and downtown even more successful.
It's about time autonomous vehicles rolled into San José. For decades, our region has shaped the future-and now, the ride to work is as forward-thinking as the breakthroughs happening at the office.
