Of Course Waymo Is Testing Self-Driving Trucks

Update: On Friday, March 9, 2018, Waymo announced that next week, it will start testing its self-driving trucks in Georgia, delivering unspecified cargo bound for its sister company Google's data centers in Atlanta. With the likes of Daimler, Volvo, and Uber working on self-driving trucks, it’s no surprise that the granddaddy of autonomous vehicles, Waymo, is getting in on the big-rig action too. LEARN MORE The WIRED Guide to Self-Driving Cars Waymo has eight years of data on how to build autonomous vehicles, and now it's figuring out how to apply that to trucks, rather than passenger cars. Waymo may be the granddad of self-driving cars, but when it comes to trucks, it's just another startup.
