Commercial Scale

Waymo, Alphabet’s autonomous driving arm, plans to launch its robotaxi service in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Miami, and Orlando by 2026. This expansion follows successful testing and deployment in other major US cities. Initially, rides will be offered to employees, followed by a public launch. Waymo aims to operate vehicles without human safety drivers and build on its 10 million+ paid ride experience, despite increasing competition in the autonomous vehicle market. The strategic move targets markets with favorable regulations and tech-savvy populations.
