Waymo Expands Robotaxi Service to 10 U.S. Cities
Waymo has officially launched its robotaxi services in ten major U.S. cities, including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando. This expansion comes as the company aims to pressure competitors like Tesla to accelerate their own autonomous taxi services. Recently, Waymo started offering rides to Houstonians in fully self-driving cars, while also rolling out services in Dallas and San Antonio for selected riders. The expansion in Texas and Florida marks a significant step for Waymo, which has also raised capital, achieving a remarkable $126 billion valuation. Customers can now hail these driverless vehicles in various locations, signaling a growing availability of autonomous ride-hailing options across the country.
