Waymo, which I think grew out of the original Google self-driving car project, has been operating robo-taxis for several years. They're available in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a few more cities. I wonder how they did on the schoolbus test. Not able to find anything online about that. They use different car manufacturers from China, UK, Germany, and it looks like one of them (Jaguar Land Rover) is owned or partly owned by Ford. So data about the individual cars is kind of hard to track down.
Atlanta is the latest launch city, they are all white Jaguar i-Paces.
Waymo had non-standard stop-signs figured out six years ago XD Feels essential to running a half-way responsible autonomous car service?
