Waymo self-driving taxis have become a sensation on U.S. city streets, and it's now looking like the autonomous ride-hailing service from Google parent company, Alphabet, could soon bring its driverless rides to Toronto. The City of Toronto is currently in talks with lobbyists for Alphabet, details of which are outlined in a registration filed under the City's lobbyist registrar last month. Self-driving vehicles have already been used to limited success in Toronto, including a recent pilot using Magna International's autonomous cars, though this project was ultimately scrapped in October. None of the U.S. cities where Waymo currently operates self-driving taxis are known for their winter conditions, and Toronto's notoriously snowy winters could prove a challenge for the autonomous vehicles. Even during much more favourable summer weather, Magna International's recent autonomous vehicle pilot in Toronto suffered numerous challenges, including frequent abrupt stops observed by City officials.
