NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Nashvillians could soon see driverless cars around the city on local streets.
On Monday, rideshare service Waymo announced it will begin testing its autonomous driving technology this week in Music City.
According to Waymo, the company takes the vehicles on testing "road trips" so the technology can learn the driving culture, weather and road conditions in different regions.
The vehicles have been tested in dozens of cities, and currently operate in Los Angeles, Austin, Metro Phoenix and San Francisco.

Testing begins with a small fleet of vehicles driven manually by human operators through inner city streets and highways. Once the technology can navigate the roads, the vehicles begin driving autonomously.
Unfortunately, if you have been waiting for the chance to take a ride in a driverless car, it won't be happening this week as passengers are not a part of Waymo's testing.
