Waymo is expanding its driverless ride-hailing service with paid robotaxi rides launching in Denver, San Diego, and Tampa, Florida. The rollout increases the number of U.S. cities where the company offers the service to 14.
According to reports, Waymo begins by inviting riders on a rolling basis and gradually ramps up access as the launches progress. Outlets describe the move as part of Waymo’s established commercial expansion approach, using phased entry rather than immediate full availability in each new market. The announcements align across the three outlets on the specific cities and the public, paid nature of the service.
While the coverage is broadly consistent, the emphasis differs slightly: one outlet frames the change primarily as a geographic expansion and growth in city count, while another highlights the staged process for rider participation. All accounts point to the same start of operations in the three new locations.
