The autonomous ride-hailing service Waymo is planning to put its rideshare cars on Denver streets starting this week, CBS News Colorado has learned.

Sandy Karp, a Waymo spokesperson, confirmed the information obtained by CBS Colorado, stating that the company will put about a dozen of its electric vehicles on the streets starting this week.

"We'll begin with a limited fleet," said Karp, "and scale up as service grows".

Although Waymo is known for its driverless cars , Karp said the vehicles would initially begin with drivers behind the wheel before transitioning to fully autonomous or driverless, after a period of time.
