Waymo’s Robotaxis Hit the Freeway: How Driverless Highway Rides Are Rolling Out in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix
Waymo began offering paid, fully driverless robotaxi rides on U.S. freeways this week in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. The service operates without safety drivers, marking a first in the U.S. for highway speeds. Riders can opt in via the Waymo app, with freeway trips available only when faster than surface streets. The move follows extensive testing and regulatory approval.
