Driverless rideshare service Waymo, owned by Google parent Alphabet, deployed its fleet to New York City this week to begin mapping out the city roads – with humans still sitting behind the wheel while they await a change in state law to allow fully driverless riding.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Although we still have some time before we see driverless cars in every city, testing has already begun on New York City streets. As shared in a post on X by Waymo, a driverless rideshare service, the company has begun testing in the city.

Waymo is testing its self-driving robotaxi service in Philadelphia and New York City this summer as part of its “Road Trip" tour.
