Cruise and Waymo Launch Night-Only Autonomous Ride Services
San Francisco, CA — In a move to expand autonomous vehicle operations, Cruise and Waymo announced the launch of night-only ride services in San Francisco. The service will be available from 10 PM to 5 AM, targeting late-night commuters and reducing risks associated with human error.
Both companies have faced regulatory hurdles, but recent approvals from the California Public Utilities Commission paved the way for the expansion. Early users have praised the convenience but noted concerns over occasional glitches.
Officials will evaluate the program over the next six months to determine whether to extend operations to daytime hours.
