Waymo has announced the start of testing autonomous driving vehicles on the unrestricted speed Freeway roads in Los Angeles. This move is expected to significantly reduce travel time for passengers by up to half on certain routes. During this testing phase, access will be limited to Waymo employees who can hail driverless cars on the Freeway, unlike the regular Waymo service.
Driving driverless taxis on Freeways poses a significant challenge as these roads are typically high-speed. However, it presents an opportunity for Waymo as previously, they operated only on slower local roads. Many passengers opt for taxi services with drivers who can navigate Freeways and reach their destinations faster.
Previously, Waymo began testing driverless cars on Freeways in Phoenix.
TLDR: Waymo is testing autonomous driving on high-speed Freeways in Los Angeles to improve travel time for passengers.
