Waymo, the Google-owned autonomous vehicle subsidiary of Alphabet, has opened its driverless taxi service to the general public in San Francisco. Previously, users needed to be approved from a waitlist to access the ride-hailing service. This move, announced on June 25, 2024, comes nearly four years after Waymo launched a similar initiative in Phoenix, Arizona. The service, known as Waymo One, allows anyone in San Francisco to hail a ride using the company's app. Waymo's fleet includes self-driving Jaguars, and the company claims its vehicles are safer than human drivers. Over 300,000 people have signed up for Waymo rides in San Francisco since the company began operations in the city in 2021.
I’m so proud San Francisco has Waymo and everybody can come ride it. So cool.
