Say hello to Waymo (audio-described)

Waymo—formerly the Google self-driving car project—stands for a new way forward in mobility. In 2015, we invited Steve Mahan, former CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Blind Center, for a special ride. Steve had ridden in our cars in the past—first accompanied by a test driver in 2012 and then on a closed course in 2014. This time was different. Steve experienced the world’s first fully self-driving ride on public roads, navigating through everyday traffic with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no test driver.

We’ve been working on self-driving vehicles since 2009, and we are now an independent self-driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things move around. Learn more about Waymo:
