Alphabet’s Waymo picks up speed as Tesla robotaxi service expands
Alphabet’s Waymo robotaxis have driven more than 100 million miles without a human behind the wheel, doubling the mileage in about six months, a top company official said, as it speeds up deployment in U.S. cities amid rising competition.
Waymo’s push comes as Tesla expands its self-driving taxi service after a small trial with about a dozen of its Model Y SUVs in a limited area of Austin, Texas last month.
