US EditionWaymo Hopes to Launch Self-Driving Vehicles in NYC
NEW YORK CITY, JUN 17 – Waymo has applied to test autonomous vehicles with safety drivers in New York City as part of its plan to expand robotaxi services and advocate for regulatory changes.
- Waymo announced this week it is expanding in six Peninsula cities, adding Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Los Altos Hills, covering over 80 square miles.
- Building on its nationwide growth, Waymo's fleet of 1,500 cars and over 10 million rides highlight the booming $400 billion autonomous vehicle market projected by 2035.
- Data confirm Waymo operates 1,500 autonomous vehicles, facilitating over 10 million paid trips and 250,000 weekly rides across multiple U.S. cities.
- Waymo's expansion offers safer, eco-friendly transport for seniors and disabled, but LA protests caused battery fires and temporary service pauses.
- Meanwhile, Waymo has applied for a permit to operate in New York City with a safety specialist behind the wheel, advocating for law changes to enable fully driverless services next year.
