Waymo has increased its paid robotaxi rides to 450,000 per week, nearly double the 250,000 reported in April. This growth positions Waymo ahead of Tesla, which still relies on drivers for its limited autonomous services. Waymo has also expanded its operations to several major cities and freeways.
Waymo has started using its sixth-generation driverless system for robotaxi rides in Ojai vehicles, aiming to enhance its fleet and expand service. The company plans to open to public riders later this year while maintaining a competitive edge against rivals in the U.S. and abroad.
Waymo is negotiating to raise $15 billion in funding, primarily from its parent company Alphabet, which could boost its valuation to $110 billion. The company currently operates or tests robotaxis in 26 markets and aims to expand its service significantly in the coming years.
Uber and WeRide are expanding their robotaxi services to 15 additional cities, aiming to enhance their presence in the autonomous vehicle market. This strategic move is part of their efforts to meet growing demand and compete more effectively in the evolving transportation landscape.
