Waymo is solidifying its position in the autonomous driving sector with plans to add 2,000 new robotaxis to its fleet by 2026. The company is scaling its manufacturing efforts across the U.S. to support this expansion. Following a period of stagnation, the autonomous driving industry appears to be experiencing a resurgence, with Waymo reporting an increase in vehicle presence across urban areas like Los Angeles, Austin, and potentially Miami. As the market for robotaxis continues to evolve, questions arise regarding affordability and the future of shared mobility. Experts speculate on the potential for personal ownership of robotaxis, suggesting that this could be a sign of progress in sustainable urban transport solutions.
