Waymo is preparing to launch in two more markets. The company announced today that it will expand into both Denver and Seattle. It will begin testing with humans behind the wheel this week, bringing up to a dozen vehicles to each location, according to CNBC. The rollout will include a mix of the brand's fully electric Jaguar iPace and Geely Zeekr autonomous vehicles.
"We will begin driving manually before validating our technology and operations for fully autonomous services in the future," a representative told CNBC.
This has been a busy year for the Alphabet-owned Waymo, which said in January that it planned to introduce its autonomous vehicles to ten new cities during 2025. The company partnered with Uber for its Atlanta launch in June and also rolled out a teen account option in July. Waymo received permits to begin testing its cars in New York City last month.
