Testing will take place near Waymo headquarters, with permission to drive in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Sunnyvale, in Santa Clara County.
The company can test day or night, in fog and light rain conditions, and will be able to go on roads with a posted speed limit of up to 65 miles per hour (104 kilometers per hour).
"California has been working toward this milestone for several years, and we will continue to keep the public’s safety in mind as this technology evolves," California Department of Motor Vehicles Director Jean Shiomoto said in a statement.
Waymo will initially only let members of its team ride in its driverless cars, but will eventually allow the public to experience them, as it's done so in Arizona with the early rider program.
Since April, California has had regulations allowing companies to test cars without drivers on its roads, with the likes of Uber and Tesla set to join the fray.
A DMV spokesperson said one other company has submitted an application for driverless car testing, but it was returned because it was incomplete. There are currently 60 manufacturers allowed to test autonomous vehicles in California with a safety driver.
Driverless cars have been in the works for years, and it's now just around the corner for Californians.
