Waymo reaches 100M fully autonomous miles across all deployments - The Robot Report

Waymo LLC, an Alphabet Inc. subsidiary, has surpassed 100 million fully autonomous miles driven without a human driver, doubling its mileage in just six months while expanding its robotaxi services to new cities including Atlanta. Currently operating in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin, Waymo provides over 2 million fully autonomous miles and more than 250,000 rides weekly, totaling over 10 million autonomous trips to date. The company plans further expansion to Miami, Washington, D.C., and Tokyo, and is actively mapping Boston. Waymo’s Austin service area recently increased from 37 to 90 square miles, with rides accessible exclusively through the Uber app. Despite Waymo’s leadership in the U.S. robotaxi market, competition is growing. Tesla launched a robotaxi service in Austin using Model Y vehicles with Full Self-Driving software, currently operating with safety monitors and serving a limited group of users. Meanwhile, Washington, D.C. is moving toward legalizing fully autonomous vehicles
