"Fewer than ten" Waymo cars are operating in Manhattan and "parts of Downtown Brooklyn," a company spokesperson told Crain's. The vehicles are in town for testing and, at least for now, are being operated by humans.

Driverless rideshare service Waymo, owned by Google parent Alphabet, deployed its fleet to New York City this week to begin mapping out the city roads – with humans still sitting behind the wheel while they await a change in state law to allow fully driverless riding.
