Waymo Restarts Freeway Robotaxi Rides in Phoenix After Construction-Zone Fix

Waymo resumes freeway robotaxi trips in Phoenix on July 29, 2026, after a two-month nationwide suspension. The pause and a June 18 recall of nearly 3,900 vehicles followed incidents where robotaxis entered closed construction zones. Riders join an app-based interest list for freeway trips; Miami, Los Angeles, and San Francisco Bay Area freeways resume soon.
