Waymo can now charge for robotaxi rides in LA and on San Francisco freeways
Waymo received final approval from California regulators that will allow the Alphabet company to charge for robotaxi rides in LA.
Last month, the CPUC’s Consumer Protection and Enforcement Division suspended Waymo’s application to expand its robotaxi service in Los Angeles and San Mateo counties for up to 120 days to provide extra time for review. The CPUC said it received 81 responses and five protests, which the agency said “required a little extra time beyond the 30 days to carefully review and incorporate into the staff decision.” The CPUC decision comes just a day after Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana discussed the future of the company and the broader autonomous vehicle industry at TechCrunch’s Strictly VC event in Los Angeles.
