The autonomous ride-hailing service now covers 27 square miles, including Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, and parts of Sunnyvale.

  • Waymo has expanded its robotaxi service to Silicon Valley, offering rides in Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, and parts of Sunnyvale.
  • The service is initially available on an invite-only basis to select Waymo One app users within the service area, with plans to gradually expand access.
  • This marks a significant milestone for Waymo, which began its autonomous vehicle testing in Mountain View in 2009 as part of Google’s self-driving car project.
  • The fleet consists of fully electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles equipped with Waymo's latest self-driving technology.
  • Waymo is also in discussions to connect its Silicon Valley and San Francisco services, aiming to provide seamless autonomous rides across the Bay Area.
