Waymo emerged from Google’s robot car program and is now particularly advanced in developing technology for self-driving cars. The company’s robots now make more than 50,000 trips per week.
At the same time, Waymo recently came to the attention of the US authorities after a number of incidents. This includes a situation in which the driverless car moved into the oncoming lane to overtake a group of e-scooter riders. The maneuver went off lightly. Waymo emphasizes that the software is safe and controls the cars carefully.
