After testing the Waymo Driver in multiple cities, the company says the tech is adapting successfully to new environments, leading to the expansion.

Waymo's autonomous vehicles are coming to San Diego — with human drivers. Why it matters: The company announced its fleet will arrive this week in San Diego and Las Vegas, where trained drivers will allow them to collect local information in hopes of improving their driverless ride-hail services.

San Diegans could soon see autonomous vehicles driving around the city. On Wednesday, the Bay Area-based software company, Waymo, announced its self-driving cars will be making a visit down to America’s Finest City as part of an initiative to scale up its operations beginning this week.
