Context:
Waymo is deployed in San Francisco and Phoenix, accepting customers 24/7 throughout the city. It just started to do pickup and drop-offs at select Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport terminals and covers 225 sq miles in Phoenix.
Waymo is finishing up its 5-month tour of testing in LA in early March 2024.
Criteria:
Allow anyone with access to Waymo to take a ride on the highway by December 31st, 2024 (so excluding trusted testers, staff etc)
An announcement doesn't count, you have to be able to book a ride that uses a highway.
