After years of work, Waymo — Alphabet’s self-driving subsidiary — has finally unveiled its driverless taxi service. Dubbed Waymo One, it is available to locals in some Arizona suburbs. To use the service, riders must download Waymo’s ride-hailing app and provide a credit-card number. This allows them to see price estimates before accepting a trip without a driver. Waymo chief John Krafcik says the service will, “make the roads safer and easier for everyone to navigate”.
经过多年的努力,Alphabet的自动驾驶子公司Waymo终于推出了无人驾驶出租车服务。目前,亚利桑那州的一些郊区已经可以使用这项名为Waymo One的服务。想要使用这项服务的乘客必须先下载Waymo的叫车应用,并提供信用卡号码。乘客可以看到无人驾驶出租车行程的预估价,再决定是否要接受行程。Waymo首席执行官约翰•克拉富西克(John Krafcik)表示,这项服务会“让道路更安全,更方便每个人出行”。
