Let Tech Innovators Seek Forgiveness, Not Permission

• fee.org by Matthew Feeney

A fleet of driverless cars designed by Waymo, a project of Google's parent company, Alphabet, is on the roads of Phoenix, Arizona. Last week, Waymo CEO John Krafcik announced that in the coming months the driverless cars will be part of the world's first autonomous ride-hailing service.

The recent news is a milestone in driverless car technology history, and it's no exaggeration to claim that the technology behind these new cars has the potential to save hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of lives in the coming decades. Sadly, drones, another life-saving technology, have had a tougher time getting off the ground.

Waymo's cars are not suddenly arriving on the scene. Google has been working on getting a driverless car on the road since 2009, and Waymo has been offering some lucky passengers in the Phoenix area rides since April.
