Waymo, an autopilot company that was spun off from Google's parent company, Alphabet, has been licensed to test its self-driving cars in cities across the United States to enable Waymo's autonomous driving technology to adapt to many different driving conditions.

Waymo announced that its autonomous fleet has a road test mileage of 8 million miles on public roads. As of November last year, the road mileage of these vehicles was only about 4 million miles.

The company's self-driving vehicles travel an average of 25,000 miles a day, and Waymo also simulates driving more than 5 billion miles through a simulation system.
