## **Are driverless taxis legal in San Francisco?**
Waymo has already been granted approval by the California Public Utilities Commission to charge for rides. However, there must be a person acting as a safety measure behind the car’s steering wheel.
The company also has a rider support team on call at the touch of a button. Riders can access the team using an in-car screen or through the riders’ app. Overall, the team can help with any questions that riders might have while in the vehicles.
### What’s next?
The next stop for Waymo is the commercial permit process involving both the Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Although a driverless car competitor already has a permit to operate in San Francisco at night, Waymo still needs a permit to operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
At this point in time, Waymo vehicles are only available to Google and Waymo employees, but the company is rapidly expanding its testing of the vehicles. Waymo has already successfully implemented its “Early Rider” program for employee use. Now, it’s expanding on the Early Rider testing with its new “Trusted Tester” program in the city.
Some of the Trusted Tester vehicles in San Francisco are award winning all-electric Jaguar I-PACE SUVs that come with the fifth generation of its self-driving system called the Waymo Driver. The company hasn’t said how many of those vehicles it would put on the road. Trusted Testers will enroll in a waitlist, and upon approval, they’ll need to sign off on a non-disclosure agreement to access the service. When Waymo is fully licensed, regular customers will be able to comment publicly on the Waymo service sometime in the future.
As of May 2022,  on the road in downtown San Francisco and Google’s corporate campus in Mountain View. With more than 2.3 million miles driven in 2021, it more than tripled the miles that its vehicles ran in 2020.

Hopefully, they won’t be coming at you.

Awesome! I had a dog attack injury on a bicycle. Matt and Dan consulted with me and gave me great advice. They were upfront and honest, and I really felt like they cared and had my back… In the future if I ever need a lawyer, I’m going to Matt and Dan first. I highly recommend them.

My case was resolved with minimal time and attention required from me, which is what I expressed as a concern to Matt when I first met with him… Matt explained everything very clearly to me and understood my perspective and represented me very well.
