Any citizen of San Francisco can now use<\/a> robotaxis from Waymo, an Alphabet company. Following government approval<\/a> to operate these paid autonomous vehicles in the city since August last year, Waymo spent several months managing a waiting list, gradually allowing more people to access its services. Now, anyone in the city can hire them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waymo says its cars have traveled more than 3.8 million driverless miles in San Francisco, with the company claiming its vehicles make “tens of thousands of trips weekly” in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to<\/a> the San Francisco Chronicle, Waymo’s fleet in the city has increased from 250 to 300 vehicles from January to today. But, despite this increase, the company does not plan to increase it in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, there are already two cities where Waymo offers robotaxis to the general public, San Francisco and Phoenix, where the latter was previously limited only to Waymo One members and their guests since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live in San Francisco or Phoenix and want to make a reservation for a Waymo robotaxi, simply download the application on Android<\/a> or iOS<\/a> and process it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
