Waymo doubled robotaxi rides to 100,000 weekly within 3 months, expanding service areas and improving vehicle access.

Alphabet's Waymo has doubled its weekly paid robotaxi rides to 100,000 within three months, attributing the growth to service area expansion and increased access to its autonomous vehicles. Waymo operates the only U.S. firm offering uncrewed robotaxis for fares and has recently extended its services to the San Francisco Peninsula and certain parts of Los Angeles. The company aims to stay competitive amidst increased interest from tech companies like Tesla, GM's Cruise, Amazon's Zoox, and China-based WeRide, who are either planning or testing autonomous vehicle services.
