Waymo Opens Robotaxi Service to All in San Francisco

The autonomous ride-hailing service removes waitlist, offering 24/7 access via app to locals and visitors alike.

  • Waymo's robotaxi service is now available to everyone in San Francisco, following a similar rollout in Phoenix.
  • Previously, access was limited to those on a waitlist, which had nearly 300,000 sign-ups.
  • The service operates around the clock, providing tens of thousands of weekly trips using a fleet of 300 vehicles in the city.
  • Despite the wider availability, Waymo faces ongoing safety investigations and regulatory scrutiny.
  • The company highlights its safety record, claiming fewer crashes compared to human drivers over millions of miles driven.
