Waymo, previously known as the Google self-driving car project, is an autonomous car developer and an independent company under Alphabet Inc.
The company began in 2009 as a project under Google. In 2015 the project completed its first driverless ride on public roads, giving a ride to a sole blind man in Austin Texas.
In December 2016, Google transitioned the project into a new company called Waymo, housed under Google’s parent company Alphabet. Alphabet describes Waymo as “a self-driving tech company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to move around.” The new company, which will be headed by long-time automotive executive John Krafcik, plans to make self-driving cars available to the public in 2020.
In late May 2014, Google revealed a new prototype of its driverless car, which had no steering wheel, gas pedal, or brake pedal, being 100% autonomous. and unveiled a fully functioning prototype in December of that year that they planned to test on San Francisco Bay Area roads beginning in 2015.
In 2015, Steve Mahan, former CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Blind Center, was the recipient of the first self-driving ride on public roads, in Austin, Texas.
In December 2016, the unit was renamed Waymo, and spun off as its own separate division. Waymo is derived from its mission, “a new way forward in mobility.”
