Waymo has begun deploying driverless rides in four additional U.S. cities. The expansion includes the launch of fully autonomous services in Las Vegas and the transition to driverless testing in San Diego and Tampa.
Coverage from CNBC, the San Diego Union-Tribune, WFLA, and KSNV emphasizes the speed of this acceleration. However, The Colorado Sun notes a distinction in the Denver market, reporting that the robotaxi service there is currently available only for Waymo employees.
