Officials from Waymo and Valley Metro, which runs the Phoenix area public transit system, have announced plans to connect driverless cars to the transit system. The idea is to provide driverless car rides to and from transit stops, an innovation not being done anywhere else. A pilot program with Valley Metro employees only starts this month. Valley Metro CEO Scott Smith will tell us more.
