According to reports, Waymo Stewart, director of operations at Waymo, said on Tuesday that the company's auto-driving car will reach 7 million miles (11.27 million kilometers) this week.

At the Innovfest Unbound conference in Singapore, Stewart said, "The total mileage of our self-driving cars is approaching 7 million miles - it will reach 7 million miles this week."
What makes this number really worth noting is that less than a month ago, Waymo announced that its self-driving car had a total mileage of 6 million miles (9.66 million kilometers). Waymo Chief Technology Officer Dmitri Dolgov announced the news at the Google I/O conference on May 8.
Dolgov did not disclose the exact time that the Waymo self-driving car had a total mileage of 6 million miles, so the last 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) could last more than a month. Waymo's testing of self-driving cars is clearly accelerating due to plans to launch a self-driving taxi service later this year.

The chart produced by Waymo in February showed that the self-driving car test mileage reached 5 million miles (805 million kilometers). Waymo (then Google) increased the test mileage of self-driving cars from 1 million miles to 2 million miles (3.22 million kilometers) for more than a year, after which the 3rd and 4th 1 million miles respectively lasted about 6 months. Waymo took about three months to complete the fifth 1 million-mile self-driving car test. In the next three and a half months, Waymo completed a 2 million-mile self-driving car test mileage.
The scale of self-driving cars tested by other manufacturers in the industry cannot be compared with Waymo. Uber completed 3 million miles of testing before being forced to suspend testing in March; from December 2016 to November 2017 (the most recent time we were able to get data), the Universal Cruise self-driving car tested only 131,000 Miles (211,000 kilometers).
As Uber's traffic accident caused by death shows, the test mileage itself does not represent the safety of the car. Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt said in a blog post in October last year that testing in a densely populated San Francisco allowed Cruise to get more information from unit test miles than competitors such as Waymo - they usually test automatically in the suburbs. Driving a car.
However, the accelerated test plan is just one of several signs that Waymo has invested heavily in maintaining its edge in autonomous driving technology.
Waymo announced last month that it ordered 62,000 Chrysler Pacific vans and announced in March that it ordered 20,000 Jaguar I-PACEs. Waymo's recent order is the largest order in the history of the autonomous auto industry; followed by Uber ordering 24,000 cars from Volvo.
Waymo said it plans to launch a commercial unmanned taxi service in the Phoenix area by the end of the year.
