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

Waymo's autonomous vehicles are coming to San Diego — with human drivers. Why it matters: The company announced its fleet will arrive this week in San Diego and Las Vegas, where trained drivers will allow them to collect local information in hopes of improving their driverless ride-hail services.

San Diegans may see soon see Waymo’s driverless cars on local streets soon. The vehicles, owned by the autonomous-vehicle taxi company, won’t be picking up passengers yet, however. Instead, the company tweeted out,

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.

San Diegans could soon see autonomous vehicles driving around the city. On Wednesday, the Bay Area-based software company, Waymo, announced its self-driving cars will be making a visit down to America’s Finest City as part of an initiative to scale up its operations beginning this week.
