With plans to expand into Austin, Atlanta, and Miami, Waymo is setting new standards for urban mobility. Discover how QuarkyByte's AI and data solutions can empower your business to harness the potential of autonomous technologies and stay ahead in this transformative industry.
In a significant leap forward for autonomous vehicle technology, Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has doubled its weekly robotaxi rides in less than a year, reaching over 200,000 paid rides weekly. This milestone, shared by Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, underscores Waymo's rapid growth and its dominant position in the commercial robotaxi market. Operating in major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix, Waymo has expanded its reach significantly from just 10,000 rides a week two years ago, marking a 20-fold increase.
Waymo's self-driving system now covers more than 1 million miles each week, a testament to its operational efficiency and reliability. This growth trajectory is set to continue as Waymo plans to launch commercial services in Austin and Atlanta in 2025, in partnership with Uber, and in Miami by early 2026. These expansions will further solidify Waymo's lead over competitors like Zoox, which, despite rolling out custom-built robotaxis, has yet to operate commercially.
