Waymo starts robotaxi testing in Philadelphia and NYC


Waymo kicked off two “road trips” to Philadelphia and New York City on Monday, signaling the Alphabet-owned company’s push to expand into cities in the Northeast.

She noted folks will see Waymo vehicles driving “at all hours throughout various Philadelphia neighborhoods, from North Central to Eastwick, University City, and as far east as the Delaware River.” Waymo’s continued testing across the country is anchored by the company’s current commercial robotaxi services offered in Atlanta, Austin, the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.
