California’s Department of Motor Vehicles approved Berkeley and Oakland, along with other cities in Alameda and other California counties, to serve as driverless testing and deployment areas for Waymo. ⁠ ⁠ Waymo, a Bay Area-based autonomous vehicle company, would be allowed to use two of its models, the Jaguar I-Pace and the Zeekr RT, in the approved cities. The vehicles are all-electric and outfitted with sensors, cameras, radar and lidar technology. Both models are approved for use 24/7.⁠ ⁠ However, for Waymo to get its vehicles on the road, it must also obtain a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC. ⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✍️: Myesha Phukan⁠ 📸: Courtesy of Waymo⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ucberkeley #dailycal #berkeley #waymo #dmv #oakland #alamedacounty
