The company has hired Debbie Hersman (left), who had headed the non-profit National Safety Council in Itasca, Ill., to become its safety chief in January. She previously chaired the U.S. National Transportation Safety Council.
In her new position, Hersman will be responsible for field and systems safety across Waymo's testing and development program.
