Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.
Waymo’s commercial service is up and running in multiple cities, with ambitious plans to expand dramatically in the coming years; the associated infrastructure is in an early stage and requires significant investment for Waymo to grow into a high scale, world-class service. Increasing demand for Waymo’s ride-hailing service will drive evolution of our systems, providing an opportunity-rich environment to solve hard, ambiguous, high-impact, cross-functional problems.
