Waymo’s co-CEO says the shift to driverless will open up new jobs. Instead of being in the driver’s seat, humans will be behind the scenes of the whole operation, fulfilling operational and blue-collar business needs.
“Humans are still rotating those tires and working on those vehicles,” Mawakana continued. “We have fleet operators, we have fleet technicians. All of our fleets are fully electric. Those charging companies are building the infrastructure, putting them in city centers, pulling those wires from the utility company.”
Automated cars are on the rise, much to the dismay of human drivers and passengers who get stuck navigating the errors of the new technology.
