Waymo opens its robotaxi service to “select riders” in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando, expanding its operations to 10 US cities

Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has expanded its robotaxi service to four new U.S. cities: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Orlando. This expansion follows a $16 billion funding round and brings Waymo's service to a total of 10 U.S. cities. The company aims to attract more riders and address public skepticism about driverless cars, which a 2025 survey by the American Automobile Association found that six in 10 U.S. drivers were fearful of.
