Waymo is an app that you can use to get around the city with cars developed by Google. Although right now this technology is still being developed, in the coming months they’ll start testing in some cities.
The way that this app works is very simple, and it’s similar to other modes of transportation that other companies like Uber, Lyft and Cabify offer. However, in this case, the main difference that the car that shows up will be driver-free. Waymo’s fleet of vehicles are completely self-driving and use a camera to scope out the areas where they circulate. This is why you just have to tell the app where you are, and one of these cars will meet you at your location.
The main advantage of using Waymo is that the app operates 24 hours a day. Since there aren’t drivers, breaks and driver shifts disappear, and cars are available anyplace and anytime, in the cities where this platform operates. On top of that, most of its cars are electric which greatly reduces pollution and harmful gas emissions into the atmosphere.
With Waymo, the mobility of passengers in cities is about to make a giant leap technologically. Up until now, being a passenger in a self-driving car seemed like something futuristic. However, many cities are about to establish this cutting-edge system that will allow you to get around without complications.
