Waymo Is Rewiring the Future of Driving
Born from Google in 2009, Waymo has grown into a leader in autonomous mobility. Its mission: build the world’s most trusted driver and eliminate traffic deaths through smarter, safer tech.
With millions of self-driven miles and an all-electric fleet, Waymo is transforming how cities move. Now, that transformation reaches Miami.
Miami Gets Its First Taste of Driverless Rides
Waymo has officially launched its robotaxi service in Miami, marking a major step in the company’s rapid national rollout. With nearly 10,000 locals already on the waitlist, the Alphabet-owned company began offering public rides this week across a 60-square-mile service zone.
Riders can now book trips in popular neighborhoods like Wynwood, Brickell, Coral Gables, and the Design District. These are high-traffic, high-demand areas—perfect for showcasing what fully autonomous vehicles can do.
Airport Service Is Next on the Map
Waymo isn’t stopping at city streets. The company says it will expand to Miami International Airport “soon,” though no exact timeline was shared. Still, connecting to a major airport would be a big win for both visibility and utility.
A Nationwide Expansion Is Underway
Miami is now Waymo’s sixth official city. The company also operates in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and, through Uber partnerships, in Austin and Atlanta. But that’s just the start.
Waymo has its sights set on eight more U.S. cities, including Seattle, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C. Testing is already underway in some locations, using both Zeekr RT vans and Jaguar I-Pace SUVs.
By the end of 2026, Waymo says it plans to deliver one million autonomous rides per week. That’s not a trial—that’s mass adoption in motion.
Despite Hiccups, Growth Keeps Coming
Even with some recent negative press—like coverage of service hiccups during a San Francisco power outage—Waymo’s push forward hasn’t slowed. Miami’s launch proves there’s strong public interest and growing confidence in self-driving tech.
