Robotaxi company Waymo now shuttles without a waitlist in San Francisco

The robotaxi company Waymo has reached a milestone: In San Francisco, there is no longer a waiting list for the service; rather, all interested parties can create an account immediately. The Google sister company emphasized that they had been working towards this day for years with a gradual offering.

Part of the Street Scene

Waymo robotaxis are operating in Phoenix, Arizona as well as in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. They are now allowed to drive completely without people at the wheel. 

In particular, the white Waymo cars of the Jaguar I-Pace model with cameras and laser radars have become a part of the cityscape on the streets of San Francisco. However, as a tourist, it is still more difficult to snag a Waymo ride: the necessary app is still not available in German app stores.

Development is progressing

Waymo emerged from Google's self-driving car program and is now particularly advanced in developing technology for autonomous vehicles. The company's robotaxis now make more than 50,000 trips per week.
