San Francisco residents test Waymo's self-driving car

Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Waymo announced Tuesday that some San Francisco residents will be able to test some of their self-driving cars in its second market.

The Waymo One Trusted Tester program will offer residents a ride in one of their all-electric Jaguar I-PACE cars. It kicked off last week with a select few riders but will expand, the company said in a press release.

The company is requesting feedback from riders before its full rollout in the city. It offered test rides to its San Francisco employees earlier this year.

The move comes after the company's slow rollout from Phoenix. The company launched the fully autonomous ride-hailing service in October 2020.
