Waymo's First Self-Driving Cars (2013)
In 2013, Waymo unveiled its first self-driving cars, which were designed to operate on public roads. The vehicles were equipped with a range of sensors, including cameras, radar, and lidar, which were used to gather data about the environment and make decisions about navigation. Waymo's first self-driving cars were initially restricted to a narrow geographic area, but the company quickly expanded its testing to more areas.
