Waymo will begin allowing its autonomous vehicles to drive in Austin without a safety operator behind the wheel, according to a tweet by Waymo Chief Product Officer Saswat Panigrahi. “We are excited to begin driving with no human at the wheel in #Austin tomorrow! The @Waymo Driver continues to impress after months of careful testing, and this milestone brings us a step closer to launching in our 4th ride-hail city,” he said in a Tuesday tweet. “We’ll be driving across 43 square miles of Austin, encompassing the heart of downtown, Barton Hills, Riverside, East Austin, Hyde Park and more.”
