Porat previously alluded to the plan in Alphabet's second-quarter investors' call, saying in July, "The focus has been to launch the commercial rider program in Phoenix that we've talked about, looking to do that by year-end. We do view that as a first step in building a more fully rolled out rider program in the future." Roadshow had yet to receive further comment from Waymo at press time.

As it works to further test and develop its autonomous-car technology, Waymo has been running a trial program in the Phoenix, Arizona metro area in which members of the public can ride in self-driving Chrysler Pacifica Hybrids. Waymo says its vehicles have already covered 10 million miles. The company also is testing self-driving Jaguar I-Pace electric crossovers.
