We’re making it official, Philly: Waymo will bring our service to the City of Brotherly Love!

We’ve made great progress since arriving in Philadelphia this summer. After a period of manual testing, we recently shifted to autonomous testing with specialists behind the wheel, and we’ll continue to validate the Waymo Driver’s capabilities in Philadelphia before moving to fully autonomous operations and public launch in the future. We’ll also continue to meet with Philadelphia’s communities, and learn more about how we can support the city’s transportation goals.

“With Waymo’s support, we can grow our programs and create more opportunities for friendship, jobs, and leadership development—helping build a more inclusive community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” said Samantha Civitate, Best Buddies State Director for Pennsylvania. “Accessible transportation remains a vital piece of fostering independence and inclusion.”
