PHOENIX, U.S. -- On a hot mid-April morning, I planned to visit the two chip plants that Intel is building in Arizona. In no mood to drive myself, I decided to give Waymo One, a fully driverless robotaxi service, a try.
The term "robotaxi" has been around for years, and companies worldwide are testing autonomous ride-hailing services with a safety driver behind the steering wheel. But Waymo, owned by Google's parent company Alphabet, was the first to provide commercial driverless taxis to the public.
