Many people think driverless taxis are only science fiction. But they are becoming part of daily life. At first, the idea feels strange. In some cities, people already ride cars with no driver. A robotaxi is a taxi that drives itself. (waymo.com)
These cars use cameras and sensors on the car. A sensor is a tool that helps the car notice roads and people. The car also uses software, or smart computer programs. Riders can call the car with the Waymo app. (waymo.com)
For example, in Phoenix, a rider can order one with a phone. The phone can unlock the door. Then the rider gets in and buckles up. There is no human in the front seat. A screen inside shows the route as the car moves. The service can run day and night. It can take people to work, school, or dinner. One day, this ride may feel as normal as any taxi.
