Waymo to operate driverless vehicles in Denver without attendants, but public rides not yet available
Waymo is advancing its autonomous vehicle operations in Denver by moving to a phase where its self-driving vehicles will operate without human attendants. However, the public cannot ride yet — only Waymo employees can use the service for now. The company began testing in Denver in September 2024, using white Jaguars and blue Zeekrs equipped with cameras and radar to learn the city and adapt to winter road conditions. Public access is expected later this year.

But for now, only Waymo's own employees can ride.
The vehicles, equipped with rotating black cameras on the roof as well as radar, have learned the city and collected data to help develop Waymo systems' ability to adapt to winter road conditions.
