"Waymos are ferrying paying customers from SF and elsewhere to San Francisco International Airport for the first time on Thursday, but the robocars will not be able to take you directly to the terminals, at least not yet. It appears that we are in the final phase of the testing period for Waymo, as laid out in a permit they were granted last September to begin testing service to SFO."
"And as of Thursday morning, Waymo vehicles began taking a limited number of paying passengers to and from the airport. But, as the company announced on its blog, all pickups and drop-offs will occur at the SFO Rental Car Center passengers will need to take the AirTrain from there to get to their terminal, so not quite door-to-door service. Waymo said Thursday that it has "plans to serve additional airport locations like the terminals in the future.""
""Serving rides to and from San Francisco International Airport delivers one of the most requested features for our riders and further deepens our relationship with the city," says Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana, in a statement. "With millions traveling in for major events this year, we look forward to meeting the growing demand for reliable, fully autonomous rides. We are proud to offer a service that is improving road safety in San Francisco and providing a magical start or end to Bay Area journeys.""
Waymo began transporting paying customers to and from San Francisco International Airport, operating pickups and drop-offs at the SFO Rental Car Center instead of the terminals. Passengers must take the AirTrain from the Rental Car Center to reach their terminals. The airport service launched with a limited set of riders and will expand gradually over the coming months. Waymo entered a final testing phase under a permit granted last September and previously tested with drivers and airport employees. The company plans to add terminal locations in the future and emphasizes improved road safety and autonomous reliability.
