Waymo is accelerating its Southern expansion, rolling out in phases with invite-only access before opening to the broader public. The company now operates robotaxis in 10 U.S. cities, steadily widening its national footprint.
The business now generates more than 400,000 paid rides per week and is aiming to reach 1 million weekly trips by year’s end. Backed by $16 billion in funding at a $126 billion valuation, Waymo runs roughly 3,000 vehicles nationwide, typically entering new markets with smaller fleets before scaling.
This push follows expanded service in San Francisco, airport pickups, Uber partnerships in Atlanta and Austin, and a recent Miami launch.
