Waymo, the California-based autonomous vehicle company, has brought a limited fleet of vehicles piloted by trained, human autonomous specialists to test on Las Vegas roads, company officials

Waymo is sending autonomous vehicles to 10 new cities in 2025, starting with Las Vegas and San Diego, the company shared exclusively with The Verge. The vehicles will be manually driven, and the testing operations are not necessarily a precursor to the launch of a commercial robotaxi service.

Waymo, the self-driving division of Google parent Alphabet, announced Wednesday it plans to bring its autonomous taxis in San Diego this year.

The information-gathering visit is not a precursor to launching self-driving taxi service, a company spokesperson said.
