Self-driving ride-hail services launch in select urban areas
Fully autonomous vehicles for hire have begun operating, but only in a limited number of cities.
The long-promised robotaxi concept is now a reality in a handful of urban locations. These driverless cars are offered to the public on a pay-per-ride basis. While the technology has been discussed for years, its commercial rollout remains confined to specific markets. No broader national deployment has been announced yet.
Why it matters
It shows autonomous vehicle technology moving from testing to real-world use, affecting transportation and urban mobility.
