Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

Our cars may be self-driving, but Waymo’s workplace services and facilities are steered by the GPS team. The GPS team manages a portfolio that includes oversight of executing multiple teams, strategic business planning with regional site leads, and developing programs to support Waymonaut’s environment and productivity. The team is responsible for the delivery of large-scale operations and portfolio-wide programs ensuring and facilitating the successful delivery of a consistent service program in an extremely fast-paced environment with a high degree of ambiguity.
