All tests of unmanned vehicles take place in the presence of a professional driver at the wheel. But it was so until today. On the Internet there was information that Waymo, which is developing autonomous control systems, brought the test Chrysler Pacifica to public roads. The driver, while passing the tests, was in the back seat of the car.
It is interesting that the car has been traveling on public roads for several weeks, but there have been no excesses yet, and Waymo decided to make this public.
The company is still testing prototypes and is preparing to open a service to transport passengers. This has already caused discontent of companies engaged in taxi business. It became known that Waymo accused Uber of industrial espionage and damages of $ 1 billion. In the company Uber, all accusations in their address do not recognize. What will end this story, the court will decide.
