The tech company also will shuttle business travelers staying at the Element Hotel in Chandler, Ariz., to and from nearby offices. In addition, Waymo is partnering with Avis Budget and AutoNation to allow select consumers to rent self-driving Pacificas.
Waymo says the partner companies will pay for the ride service, but it didn’t reveal the financial terms. The tech company aims to expand the tests to other cities later.
