Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver.
Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver-The World's Most Experienced Driver™-to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes.
The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases.
The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.
Our team has built a Simulation City (https://waymo.com/blog/2021/07/simulation-city/) that helps Waymo scale up to 10M+ autonomous miles and now we want to scale up 10x more!
Our team will directly impact on Waymo business by faster ODD expansion and help scale to brand new geographies.
We fuel faster growth for Waymo and push the state of the art in the field.
