Despite North Carolinas mild winters and welcoming state government, cities like Charlotte and the Triangle area havent been included. Waymo has completed over fourteen million autonomous trips this year, tripling last years number. Justin Owens, a senior research scientist, emphasizes the need for careful implementation and rigorous study, as self-driving cars wont be a quick fix for road safety.
