I've seen them testing their vehicles - first with human drivers, then alone - for several years. They're just rolling out service here. Waymo is across the street from the CalTrain tracks, and some of the test routes cross them Are the Phoenix light tracks so different that regular train tracks? If not, Waymo needs to do a lot more testing - and publish what it found out about this near miss and what it's doing to fix it.
