Waymo, an autonomous ride-hail service, is launching some of its first self-driving cars in Santa Monica, California, on Oct. 11.

The service will operate similarly to Uber and Lyft, without the driver. Passengers hail the service on their Waymo One app, after which the car arrives with the passenger’s initials at the top of the car.
