The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has given a nod to Alphabet's Waymo and General Motors' Cruise to begin autonomous vehicle services for passengers in certain parts of San Francisco and San Mateo. The self-driving cars will have safety drivers present and the companies will now be able to collect fares from passengers. Notably, Waymo is also permitted to operate on a 24-hour basis.
