Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company that develops and operates a fully driverless ride-hailing service powered by artificial intelligence. Originally founded in 2009 as Google's Self-Driving Car Project, Waymo became an independent subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. in 2016 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California. The company has accumulated more autonomous driving experience than any other company, with its vehicles having driven tens of millions of miles on public roads across multiple cities. Waymo's core technology is the Waymo Driver, an autonomous driving system that combines a suite of proprietary sensors including lidar, radar, and cameras with advanced AI and machine learning models to perceive the environment, predict the behavior of other road users, and plan safe driving trajectories in real time. The system processes vast amounts of sensory data through deep neural networks that perform object detection, classification, tracking, and motion forecasting for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other road elements. Waymo operates Waymo One, a commercial ride-hailing service that provides fully autonomous rides to the public. Waymo One operates in Phoenix, Arizona, San Francisco, California, Los Angeles, California, and Austin, Texas, with ongoing expansion to additional cities. Riders can hail a Waymo vehicle through the Waymo One app, similar to traditional ride-hailing services, but the vehicle operates without a human driver. The company also develops Waymo Via, its autonomous trucking and delivery platform, though the primary commercial focus has been on ride-hailing. Waymo has formed partnerships with major automotive and logistics companies and has conducted extensive testing and validation of its autonomous driving system. The Waymo One service operates on a per-ride pricing model comparable to traditional ride-hailing services, with fares calculated based on distance and time.
