Waymo struck a deal with Walmart, Avis, and AutoNation to provide self-driving vehicles to residents of the Phoenix area. Users are able to place an online grocery order with Walmart, which will dispatch a self-driving vehicle to the customer’s home, convey them to pick up their groceries at the store, and return the customers home. AutoNation will offer the self-driving vehicles to customers having their vehicles serviced, rather than a standard loaner car. Avis will send Waymo cars to pick up and drop off customers using its two locations in Chandler, Ariz.
