US EditionWaymo Robotaxis Deployed in Miami; More Cities Planned for 2026
- On Thursday, Waymo opened its fully autonomous ride‑hailing service to public riders in Miami, inviting nearly 10,000 waitlist riders on a rolling basis.
- After years of testing, Waymo mapped Miami's roads and removed safety operators in November, using a phased rollout after testing since early 2025 and presence since at least 2019.
- The service covers about 60 square miles of Miami but excludes Miami Beach, and riders can only hail trips via the Waymo app while vehicles initially avoid highways.
- Miami becomes Waymo's sixth U.S. market, extending its lead over Tesla and Amazon's Zoox as the launch kicks off Waymo's 2026 market expansion targeting more U.S. cities.
- Waymo plans to expand to Miami International Airport soon while facing safety scrutiny from the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation and managing a voluntary software recall, amid growth targets for over 20 cities.
