Waymo has set its robotaxi sights on NYC


Waymo said it's working on a return to New York City and its first step it applying for a permit.

The company is also trying to build goodwill in NYC and the state by working with several organizations such as MADD NY, YAI, National Federation of the Blind, and the Bronx Community College. In 2021, the company deployed its now retired Chrysler Pacifica minivans — the first self-driving vehicles in its testing fleet — to manually drive and map Manhattan.
