Waymo Launches Driverless Rides in Four New US Cities

Waymo activated fully autonomous taxi service in Las Vegas on July 8, with Denver, San Francisco, and Tampa following within days. All operate employee-only before public launch. The move brings Waymo's operational footprint to over 10 US cities—eight already running, four newly announced. This marks the first time autonomous taxi networks operate at meaningful scale without human safety drivers across varied climates and traffic conditions.
