Talking point: CEO John Krafcik said in a blog post that the offering will “start with those who are already a part of Waymo One and, over the next several weeks, welcome more people directly into the service through our app.” He expects all of the company’s rides to be fully driverless in the near term and for the service “to be very popular.” The company started in 2009 as the Google self-driving-car project before spinning off as an autonomous-vehicle company in 2016. In addition to Waymo One, it has been working on Waymo Via, which is testing a fleet of self-driving trucks in California and Arizona. In May, the company added US$750 million to the US$2.25-billion funding round it first announced in March. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board was among the investors.
