Waymo, Alphabet Inc.'s autonomous vehicle company, continues its expansion of robotaxi services in 2025, solidifying its presence in multiple cities. Austin, Texas, remains a key location, where Waymo robotaxis are available exclusively through the Uber app.
In Austin, riders can request a Waymo vehicle when booking an UberX, Uber Green, Comfort, or Comfort Electric ride. These rides are facilitated using all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles equipped with Waymo's autonomous driving technology. Waymo is also planning to begin testing its robotaxi service in Miami in 2025.
Waymo's expansion includes a partnership with Hyundai, integrating Waymo's technology into Ioniq 5 SUVs, with testing slated for late 2025. The company is also working with Zeekr on robotaxi platforms. Waymo is also planning to expand its driverless taxi service to the South Bay and Peninsula.
