Waymo Introduces Driverless Robotaxis in Miami, Demonstrating Safety Benefits
Dec 17, 2024, 12:05 AM
Waymo, a leader in autonomous driving technology, has announced plans to introduce its fully driverless robotaxis to Miami, raising questions about their safety. The company has already begun serving riders in Austin, where it has demonstrated safety benefits for both passengers and other road users. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Waymo vehicles handle complex traffic situations with ease, even in adverse weather conditions like heavy rain. Users have reported that Waymo vehicles are safer around pedestrians and cyclists compared to human-driven cars, with instances of the autonomous vehicles avoiding potential accidents that might have resulted in serious injury or death. Despite these positive reports, there remains skepticism about the overall safety and reliability of driverless cars in varied urban environments.
