Sky Harbor is on-track to be the first airport in world to offer Waymo rider-only autonomous vehicle service

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, America’s Friendliest Airport^®, recently set a global milestone to becoming the first airport in the world to offer travelers the ability to take a Waymo autonomous vehicle as a means of transportation to and from the airport. On Nov. 1, Waymo began offering Trusted Tester participants the ability to take autonomous rides to and from downtown Phoenix and the Airport with an autonomous specialist in the vehicle.

Trusted Testers are able to catch a ride 24 hours seven days a week in Waymo’s fully electric Jaguar I-PACE equipped with the fifth generation Waymo Driver. Current trips are offered with an autonomous specialist in the driver’s seat. In the future, the specialist will be removed from the vehicle and the ability to hail rides will begin to open to the general public.

Pickups and drop-offs occur at the 44th Street PHX Sky Train^® Station where travelers can hop on the free PHX Sky Train^® direct to the terminals. Trains arrive and depart every few minutes.
