The company said that starting June 17th, it would begin accepting passengers further south along the San Francisco Peninsula in cities like Brisbane, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, and Burlingame. In Silicon Valley, riders in Palo Alto and Menlo Park will now be able to hail of the Waymo’s driverless vehicles.
And in Los Angeles, Waymo is launching June 18th in neighborhoods like Playa del Rey, Ladera Heights, Echo Park, Silver Lake, and the entirety of Sunset Boulevard. The company briefly shut down its service in Los Angeles earlier this month after anti-ICE protesters set several robotaxis on fire.
Waymo said that it was growing its borders in both cities by 80 square miles, bringing its total coverage area in California to 250 square miles. The company recently reported reaching the milestone of 10 million paid rides, and is now serving 250,000 rides each week in all four of its markets: SF, LA, Austin, and Phoenix. For those keeping track, Waymo got rid of the waitlist and went public in San Francisco in June 2024 and Los Angeles in November 2024.
Waymo operates its ridehail service in California exclusively through its app, Waymo One. In Austin and soon Atlanta, the company has opted to partner with Uber by making its vehicles only available through that company’s app.
The service map expansion comes as the company is getting ready to more than double the size of its vehicle fleet. The Alphabet company said it currently has 1,500 Jaguar I-Pace SUVs operating across its four main markets, and it plans on adding 2,000 more vehicles into 2026, for a total fleet size of 3,500.
