Digdeep Podcast: Driverless in San Francisco: How Far Along Are Robotaxis?

News From the Digital World by MCML PI Frauke Kreuter and Christof Horn

In this episode, we take a ride in a Waymo robotaxi through the busy streets of San Francisco.

Since 2022, autonomous vehicles without safety drivers have been allowed to operate and transport passengers in the city. Waymo has about 300 of these cars on the road, packed with sensors and cameras, though the interior looks familiar—except for the empty driver's seat.

The ride was smooth and efficient, though surprisingly ordinary. While robotaxis are already in use, fully autonomous private cars are still some way off due to unanswered questions about business models and operational areas.

Just listen in (podcast in German).
