Driverless taxis - Jiggly - 10-10-2020

Waymo are expanding the availability of their driverless taxis. I'm still not sure how I feel about driverless vehicles, but it sounds like some human operation/intervention is still available as needed.

Code:
People in Phoenix, Arizona will soon be able to order a driverless taxi, as Google expands its Waymo service. ............................................................ The cars will be remotely monitored, with vehicle operators intervening in extreme circumstances - such as a road ahead being closed. According to Ars Technica, cars will initially only cover a 50 sq mile (130 sq km) area in the Phoenix suburbs of Chandler, Tempe and Mesa. The company has yet to provide details on exactly how many people would be given access to the app that will allow them to hail the driverless taxis.
