Waymo

            Waymo began as the google self-driving car project in 2009. It can drive more than 25,000 autonomous miles each day, largely on complex city streets. Waymo is currently running a trial of an autonomous ride-hailing business in Phoenix, Arizona.

 The company has announced that the service will be available for public use by the end of 2018.  In 2017, Waymo unveiled new sensors and chips that are less expensive to manufacture, cameras that improve visibility, and wipers to clear the lidar system.

Waymo manufactures a suite of self-driving hardware developed in-house.Waymo officials said the cars the company uses are built for full autonomy with sensors that give 360 degree views and lasers that detect objects up to 300 meters away.

 As of 2018, Waymo had tested its system in six states and 25 cities across the U.S over a span of more than 9 years.According to a Waymo report, as of March 2018 Waymo's self-driving technology had driven more than 5 million miles on public roads and more than 5 billion miles via simulation.
