Waymo opens robotaxi service to all San Francisco users


Waymo said nearly 300,000 people have signed up for the service, called Waymo One, since the Alphabet-owned company opened its waitlist.

Waymo robotaxis are now open to all users in San Francisco, expanding the self-driving ride-hailing service, which has been available in the city to a limited number of riders. "We work closely with city and state officials, first responders, and advocates for road safety to ensure our service helps local communities gain access to reliable, safe, environmentally friendly transportation and has a positive impact on mobility." In October, General Motors' Cruise autonomous vehicle unit paused all driverless operations after collisions led to investigations and a suspension of its licenses in California.
