Waymo to expand fully autonomous rides to four cities

Waymo will soon offer fully autonomous robotaxi rides in Denver, San Diego, Las Vegas and Tampa. The Alphabet-owned company will start with employees before opening the service to the public. These cities will join others already operating without human supervisors.

Alphabet announced the expansion on Wednesday. Waymo vehicles in the four cities will initially carry only company employees. The rides will later become available to other riders.

The new locations join Dallas, Houston, Orlando and San Antonio, bringing the total to more than 10 cities with fully autonomous service. Waymo is also conducting tests in London.

The company has faced past recalls involving construction zones and flooded roads. It competes with firms such as Zoox, which is owned by Amazon.

Tesla has launched unsupervised Robotaxi rides in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas, with the service expanding to Dallas and Houston on April 18. Geofenced areas are active in Houston's Jersey Village neighborhood and Dallas' Highland Park, as shown in maps shared on X. A regular customer ride was confirmed in Dallas shortly after rollout, and Tesla showcased a 360-degree view of a ride without onboard safety monitors.

Waymo plans to roll out its new Ojai robotaxis for public use in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Phoenix within the next few weeks.

Waymo has issued a recall covering its entire fleet of fifth-generation robotaxis after incidents showed the vehicles entering closed freeway construction zones at speed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported the action on vehicles operating in Phoenix and San Francisco. The company plans software updates and new protocols to address the issue.
