Waymo released a video showing early reactions to its driverless Chrysler Pacifica minivans. For now, it's just a quick video, but the reactions seem pretty similar across the board -- it's a mix of amazement and fascination. It's not like folks didn't know what they were getting into, after all. Heck, one guy even feels confident enough to take a nap.

That's likely the response Waymo is going for. Its fleet of vans has driven billions of simulated and real-world miles in order to gain the know-how to ditch the safety driver entirely. This public pilot is currently limited to certain parts of Phoenix, but Waymo wants to expand that geofence as testing and legislation permits.
