Waymo expands its robotaxi service across Silicon Valley


Waymo will start offering robotaxi rides to people in its "Waymo One" early rider program in Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto, and "parts of Sunnyvale"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said his company plans to trial a version of its long-promised robotaxi service in Austin in June, and possibly in California and other locations by the end of this year. Sean O’Kane is a reporter who has spent a decade covering the rapidly-evolving business and technology of the transportation industry, including Tesla and the many startups chasing Elon Musk. He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
