You will not see Waymo operate here anytime in the near future.
Waymo just suspended service in Atlanta. It has been an utter nightmare. They cant navigate through water, so they get stuck leaving passengers stranded and holding up already bad traffic.
They simple cant navigate through water, slush, ice or extreme cold weather…basically Chicago weather
So, even if Illinois does passes a bill to allow autonomous vehicles ( they are currently banned in the state of Illinois), i do not see them operating on our streets until about 2030 or at all.
Correction: Waymo suspended their own service in ATL
