Waymo is expanding the scope of its self-driving experiments, announcing Friday that its autonomous trucks would soon begin delivering freight for Google’s data centers in Atlanta. The trucks won’t be completely driverless, but will be operating on public roads during the pilot, the company said.
Waymo is teaming up with sister company Google’s logistics team to “develop our technology and integrate it into the operations of shippers and carriers, with their network of factories, distribution centers, ports and terminals.” As one of the biggest logistics hubs in the country, Atlanta is “the perfect environment” for this type of test, the company said.
