Waymo’s Autonomy Claims Scrutinized by Senators at Capitol Hill

At a recent hearing on Capitol Hill, senators voiced their concerns regarding Waymo's claims of fully autonomous driving technology. The discussions focused on the company's reliance on human operators, particularly in the Philippines, prompting questions about the authenticity of its self-driving assertions.

Lawmakers are increasingly questioning the definition of autonomy in the context of Waymo's operations and the implications it has for the industry and consumers alike. The dialogue highlighted a growing skepticism surrounding the extent to which Waymo's autonomous systems can be trusted without human intervention.
