Google's famous autonomous driving system, Waymo, and its One ride-hailing app are heading to Los Angeles, and the company confirmed that it is the next destination after San Fransisco and Phoenix. The company will start by mapping out the City of Angels with its cars that have cameras atop them, with the One service coming later. 

The company will center on an electric vehicle to map out its streets and provide ride-hailing services to transport the public soon.

Waymo announced that it is heading to Los Angeles for a driverless experience to launch for the city, and it will be the third location where the company got its permit to deliver its technology. However, it is not exactly beginning its ride-hailing services immediately, as the company will need to map its streets with camera-mounted cars the company.

The company previously had its services available in San Fransisco, a city in the same state, and Phoenix in Arizona state.

Now, it will focus on mapping the streets of LA, as well as its freeway which is famous in the area, with its roads interconnecting to the city's location. Waymo said that it can handle freeways with its technology, despite its challenging experience.

Waymo One to Begin Services Soon

The company will first center on mapping Los Angeles' Downtown, Miracle Mile, Koreatown, Santa Monica, Westwood, and West Hollywood to familiarize itself with the location. After studying the area, the company will begin offering its Waymo One service to deliver self-driving to Angelenos for ride-hailing services. 

Waymo and its Driverless Services

Waymo is a famous company that aims to deliver a driverless car experience available for all to center on their needs and requirements for a different experience to match their needs. Waymo first debuted in San Fransisco, California where it first got a license to operate its autonomous driving experience which centered on its system.

The company enforced its robotaxi services in San Fransisco for over a year now, with the company already looking to expand to more states, helping with their public transportation needs. 

One of the company's planned states to service in New York, and deliver a new robotaxi experience in the city that never sleeps, famous for its yellow cabs. 

The Big Apple is soon to get the experience, but users will have to wait for its approval and availability in areas like Phoenix, Arizona, and San Fransisco, CA. 

Before it arrived in New York, the company set its sights on LA, with the massive city being the next area to service Waymo and its offers. However, it would have to map its location first, before launching its Waymo One driverless service for ride-hailing, centering on the city's massive and sunny streets.
