Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Waymo has received its first permit from the New York Department of Transportation to begin testing autonomous vehicles in New York City. The Alphabet subsidiary will test up to eight vehicles in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn through late September, with potential for extension. New York state law requires a driver to be behind the wheel during testing. This marks the city's first autonomous vehicle testing launch.
