Waymo expands further into South Bay

Waymo’s driverless cars are serving more South Bay destinations, including the Berryessa Transit Center in East San Jose, giving commuters another option for getting to and from public transportation — though some residents remain wary of the autonomous vehicles. The expansion on Nov. 3 also brings the ride-hailing service to the Great Mall and San Jose Fairgrounds, as well as additional neighborhoods in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. Company representatives said the move expands Waymo’s Bay Area service area to 350 square miles. While VTA officials welcome additional transportation options, they have no plans to coordinate with the company. Some commuters also remain skeptical of driverless vehicles, citing concerns about safety, affordability and the technology’s impact on human jobs.
