Waymo Announces Expansion of Driverless Robotaxi Service to Miami

The autonomous vehicle company plans to begin testing in 2025 with a full public launch set for 2026, partnering with Moove for fleet management.

  • Waymo will reintroduce its all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles to Miami streets in early 2025, with plans to launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service by 2026.
  • The company has partnered with African mobility fintech Moove to manage fleet operations, facilities, and charging infrastructure in Miami and Phoenix.
  • Waymo's expansion into Miami follows its operations in Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Austin, where it currently provides over 150,000 paid trips weekly.
  • Miami's challenging weather conditions, including frequent rain, were previously tested by Waymo to improve its autonomous driving technology.
  • The move comes as Waymo faces competition from Tesla, Cruise, and others, as well as scrutiny from regulators over autonomous vehicle safety.
