Waymo Expands Autonomous Ride-Hailing Service to Cover Nearly All of San Francisco and Phoenix

Waymo is increasing the area of Phoenix covered by its driverless taxi service to 180 square miles, allowing more passengers per vehicle and replacing hybrid vehicles with all-electric ones.
Waymo now offers free 24-hour robotaxi service throughout nearly all of San Francisco's peninsula, though some areas remain restricted.
Waymo hopes to eventually charge riders for its San Francisco service once approved by California regulators.
Waymo's autonomous vehicle technology continues improving, though some officials worry about expanding driverless vehicles.
Waymo now offers service to and from Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport.
