About
At Waymo, we’re committed to our mission: to be the world’s most trusted driver. Every year, 1.4 million lives are lost to traffic crashes around the world, and we find this status quo unacceptable. Our goal is to make the world safer by providing mobility solutions that prioritize safety and sustainability. Our journey began in 2009 as the Google self-driving car project, and we have come a long way since then. From operating fully autonomous rides in friendly neighborhoods to expanding our service areas, our technology, the Waymo Driver, is designed to handle real-world situations with an emphasis on safety. As we advance, we continuously learn from every mile driven, allowing us to improve our systems and better serve our community. We are now offering autonomous rides in major cities like Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and are excited to expand our service to more locations.
