Waymo’s groundbreaking driverless AV deployment in Chandler, Arizona is a modern marvel of technology, but achieving it has taken more than sensors and software. Collaboration with the public sector, from the state to the city level, was a critical piece of the puzzle as well. In this week’s PAVE virtual discussion, Waymo’s Global Head of Public Policy Michelle Peacock is joined by Arizona DOT’s Kevin Biesty and Chandler Police Department’s Chief Sean Duggan to share how they worked together to tackle the novel challenges of the driverless frontier, and what they learned along the way.
