Self-driving car company Waymo has received its first permit from New York City to test autonomous vehicles in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn. The move comes after the company filed for permits two months ago, with plans to expand nationally. As part of the deal, Waymo must report data regularly and coordinate with local authorities to ensure safe operation in one of the world’s busiest cities. This marks the city’s first official rollout of autonomous vehicle testing, following a permitting system set by Mayor Eric Adams’ administration.
