(Photo: Cheddar)I recently took my first ride in a self-driving car while in Phoenix, Arizona, where Alphabet’s Waymo has been operating the world’s first commercial self-driving taxi service since early December.

Waymo has not publicized the exact number of cars in its self-driving “Waymo One” fleet. But the company has approximately 600 self-driving vehicles on the road across the country and says most of them operate in the Phoenix region. Waymo uses Chrysler Pacifica minivans and announced a year ago that it was ordering 62,000 more.
