Waymo racks up a million autonomous miles in one month

The self-driving company continues to pick up the pace.

History by the numbers: In November last year, Waymo’s robotic cars hit four million miles driven on public roads. Last month, it reached a total of seven million miles.

Racking up the miles: Now Waymo has hit eight million miles driven, adding a million miles since last month and doubling its figure from November in a mere eight months. “We’re driving now at the rate of 25,000 miles every day on public roads,” CEO John Krafcik said on Friday.
