Now the service is back up-and-running and in a few weeks anyone will have the opportunity to download the Waymo app to take part in the Waymo One service and book themselves a fully driverless taxi ride. Jaguars are set to join the Chrysler Pacifica , which has already been used extensively in testing for the company's autonomous driving technologies.
Waymo has always been seen as the industry leader in the space, trailed by competitors such as ride-hailing services Uber and Lyft, Amazon-acquired Zoox, General Motors' Cruise and automakers pursuing autonomy, such as Tesla. Waymo's clearly serious about it, raising more than $3 billion, mostly from outside investors, earlier this year to bolster their efforts. The company says it is resuming its self-driving taxi service for the public starting today.
Waymo Chrysler Pacifica minivans and long-haul trucks took to roads in the U.S. states of Texas and New Mexico, building on the project in Arizona, according to the company. But perhaps Krafcik dropped a hint in this comment to Reuters: "You can imagine we'd love the opportunity to bring the Waymo One driver to our home state of California".
In a company blog post CEO John Krafcik said, "In the near term, 100 percent of our rides will be fully driverless". Waymo relied on a process including a "rigorous review of our safety readiness" before making the decision to launch driverless cars to the public , Barna said.
According to Waymo, 5-10% of its rides in 2020 have been fully driverless, working with a small group of users who have signed non-disclosure agreements to participate. "You can imagine we'd love the opportunity to bring the Waymo One driver to our home state of California", Krafcik said . Krafcik noted the company is sanitizing the vehicles regularly as well as requiring riders to wear masks at all times during their trip.
Barriers between the front row and rear passenger cabin for safety will be added to the cars later this year. The process of scaling the technology, Krafcik said, has been arduous. And over the next few weeks, the program will open up to even more passengers. Now, starting today, Waymo is really opening up to the public. Those who are lucky enough to have access to the app will now be able to ride in any of Waymo's 300-plus autonomous minivans.
Waymo's autonomous vehicles operate in a 100-square-mile area of Phoenix, but the fully driverless rides will take place in a 50-square-mile area in the suburbs of Chandler, Tempe, and Mesa. Still, offering rides to all customers is a huge advantage over its competitors. More importantly, in the context of a new-normal pandemic era, FCA had instrumented a technology that would clear the air of a minivan after every ride.
Waymo said it cleans its vehicles multiple times throughout the day, in addition to temperature-screening its maintenance workers and regularly flushing the cars' cabin air through their climate control systems. But human safety drivers are not being retired completely just yet. At the moment, Waymo One only works within a 100-square-mile area in Phoenix.

There will also be no remote monitoring person who can take charge in emergency situations and drive the auto, and this type of tour will be conducted for several weeks, and then Waymo re-introduces the backup drivers behind the wheel of some cars so that the company can work to expand its service area.

A tough lockdown imposed to stem the spread of coronavirus had resulted in the economy contracting by a record 23.9 per cent during April-June. "We anticipate that the LTC and festival advance schemes will result in a temporary boost to consumer sentiment and economic activity, with a sharper pick up in festive season sales that would subsequently fizzle out", said Aditi Nayar , principal economist at ratings agency ICRA.
The scheme, which was announced at the end of September, pays up to 2/3 of an employee's wages that have been lost. Firms whose premises are legally required to close because of restrictions will receive grants to pay the wages of staff who can not work, with the Government paying two thirds of each employee's salary (67%) up to a maximum of £2,100 a month.

"This is not like they're suddenly making Humira, the greatest selling drug of all time, or they're not making Keytruda", Cramer said.
