Regular consumers are “really close” to being allowed to ride in the fully self-driving cars being developed by Waymo LLC, CEO John Krafcik tells reporters.
Waymo has been testing its latest robotic driving system in Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans at a former U.S. Air Force base in California. The company plans to begin offering rides in the vehicles to a restricted group of residents in Phoenix next April.
Waymo showed reporters a simple user interface that will give future riders an understandable view of what the vehicle perceives around it. Riders use a panel of buttons to lock or unlock the doors, start the ride, order the car to pull over or call Waymo for help.
