Our road robots are getting a new look.
🚘 Driving the news: Waymo announced yesterday that a new version of its driverless cars will hit Phoenix roadways soon.
The sixth-generation "Ojai" vehicles will feel more like a "living room on wheels," per the company, with a completely flat floor for easy entry and significantly more leg room in the back.
They'll have three large LED screens that control the temperature, tunes and more.
State of play: The new wheels will be available to select Phoenix riders via the Waymo app in the coming weeks.
During the initial trial period, rides will be free so Waymo can collect feedback.
Waymo riders who have already opted in will get the first Ojai experiences, with the new service gradually opening to more riders later on.
