Self-driving cars may soon become a fixture on Big Apple roads.Waymo, one of the best-known companies for autonomous vehicles, has secured the first permit to test self-driving cars in New York City as the robotaxi race heats up, city officials announced Friday.The California-based company, a subsidiary of Google’s parent Alphabet, operates a fleet of about 1,500 vehicles and has already logged more than 10 million rides in five U.S. cities, including San Francisco, Phoenix and Austin.The permit allows Waymo to test up to eight autonomous vehicles in parts of Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn under strict safety rules, including a requirement that a trained AV specialist remain behind the wheel at all times, Mayor Eric Adams and Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said.WAYMO RECALLS 1,200 DRIVERLESS VEHICLES FOR SOFTWARE UPDATEAfter the pilot period, Waymo can apply for an extension.Adams called the announcement another step in moving the city further into the 21st century. "We’re a tech-friendly administration and we’re always looking for innovative ways to safely move our city forward," Adams said. "As we continue to implement responsible innovation, we will always prioritize street safety."New York State law requires that a test vehicle operator be present at all times and be ready to assume control of the vehicle while the self-driving technology is in operation.Annabel Chang, head of U.S. state and local public policy at Waymo, said the company’s vehicles have a strong safety record. Waymo aims to reduce traffic deaths and injuries caused by human error."We're proud to be working with leaders to lay the groundwork to bring this life-saving technology to New Yorkers one day," Chang said. Until now, Waymo has been driving manually since its return to New York City in July. The company had brought its cars to Manhattan in 2021 for manual driving data collection and testing.UBER, WAYMO LAUNCH ‘INTEREST LIST’ FOR AUTONOMOUS RIDES IN ATLANTAWaymo is fully driverless and open to the public in Phoenix and San Francisco, while Los Angeles and Austin are still in pilot phases.The system works similarly to ride-sharing apps in that you book a ride at a pickup point and the Waymo shows up.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREThe company typically operates a fleet of Jaguar I-PACE electric SUVs and Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans, both equipped with its autonomous driving system.
