They tried to roll out in New York City, but the city did not approve.

I personally saw a Waymo in NYC on June 26th at 14th St and 8th Avenue, so they’ve done some recent testing at least.


It's still legal for Waymo to manually drive them around for mapping.


That could definitely be it. I didn’t get a clear view of the driver’s seat, so I don’t know whether or not the driver was manually controlling it.


NYC's government is focused on maximizing the pain and inconvenience for its citizens. So this tracks.


State law requires a human driver to operate vehicles at all times. This is not coming from NYC.
