Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com -- Alphabet’s Waymo launched "Waymo for Business" on Wednesday, a new corporate program allowing companies to set up accounts for employee robotaxi rides across five U.S. cities.
The service targets recurring corporate travel needs in Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Austin and Atlanta, giving employers control over where, when and how staff use autonomous rides.
The new business program features an administrative portal where organizations can manage users, create promotional codes, and generate reports to track ride activity and budgets.
Waymo said the business product is still in its early stages and will receive additional features over time to accommodate organizations of different sizes. Used-car marketplace Carvana is among early clients.
The company said it now completes more than 1 million rides monthly, with nearly one in six local riders in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix using the service for commuting purposes.
