This week, we officially reached three million miles of self-driving on public roads — the equivalent to traveling to the moon and back six times! With this real world experience, along with our billions of miles of simulated driving, our cars are safer and more capable.

It took our team just seven months to reach our third million miles (by comparison, it took about six years to hit our first million!). We’ll keep on accumulating more miles, even quicker, as our 600 self-driving Pacifica minivans hit the road. And the most exciting part of our next million self-driving miles? We get to share them with our early riders in Arizona, who are using our self-driving vehicles to commute to work, head to school, and go out for a night on the town.
