Waymo gains Taxi License in Arizona

by Michael Keane

Per a story written by Jonathan Gitlin fron Ars Technica (story link here), Alphabet's Waymo has been granted a license to operate as a taxi in the Phoenix, AZ area. This should add leverage to the autonomous driverless vehicle industry as more and more of the public will have access to its use. Fiat Chrysler should also see some added marketing and advertising coverage from this as more of their vehicles will be on the road and available for the public to experience.

Getting more eyes and experience behind the driverless vehicles is paramount to continue to develop the technology, and the attitude of the public. While there will be issues, it seems that step by step, driverless vehicles are becoming more of a reality. The likely jump in revenue is not far behind for Waymo and Fiat Chrysler.
