That's potentially a lot of cars, enough to build a sizable ride-hailing fleet. Yes, that may pale in comparison to the millions of drivers Uber has globally, but since Waymo's cars could theoretically drive 24 hours a day, stopping only to refuel or recharge, that gap gets a bit more narrow.

As of now, these cars are only planned to be deployed as part of Waymo's public, self-driving, ride-hailing fleet, which is still set to launch in Phoenix before the end of the year. However, with that many cars at Waymo's disposal, it seems like other locales are likely -- legislation willing.
