Waymo无人驾驶起开通哈里·里德机场接驳

Waymo 10月21日宣布,即日起在内华达州拉斯维加斯开通哈里·里德国际机场(Harry Reid International Airport)的无人驾驶接驳服务。乘客可在1号和3号航站楼地面零层划定的自动驾驶专区上下车,往返机场全程无人驾驶,既能赶飞机,也能下飞机直接坐车进城。
初期这项服务仅对 Waymo 在拉斯维加斯的部分现有用户开放,公司表示将逐步扩大到所有用户。Waymo 9月才在拉斯维加斯向公众开放乘车,目前服务范围约24平方英里。
这是 Waymo 服务的第六座主要机场,此前已覆盖凤凰城天港、纳什维尔、圣安东尼奥、旧金山和圣何塞机场。亚马逊旗下的 Zoox 9月已先行开通该机场接驳;内华达州8月还批准了特斯拉和优步在未来一年内部署数千辆无人车的许可,拉斯维加斯的“无人车大战”正在升温。(GSM 据 TechCrunch 报道)
Waymo Launches Driverless Rides at Harry Reid Airport in Las Vegas Starting October 21
Waymo announced on October 21 that it has begun offering driverless rides to and from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, with pickups and drop-offs at dedicated autonomous vehicle zones on the ground level of Terminals 1 and 3.
The service is initially limited to some of Waymo's existing Las Vegas riders and will expand to all customers over time. Waymo only opened rides to the Las Vegas public in September and currently serves about 24 square miles in the city.
This is the sixth major airport Waymo serves, after Phoenix Sky Harbor, Nashville, San Antonio, San Francisco and San Jose. Amazon-owned Zoox already offers rides at the airport, and in August Nevada regulators approved permits allowing Tesla and Uber to deploy thousands of robotaxis over the coming year.
