Waymo announced expansion of its fully driverless robotaxi service to Las Vegas, Denver, San Diego, and Tampa, growing its fleet to roughly 3,000 vehicles backed by $16 billion in capital. The company already operates in 10+ US metro areas and is competing against Amazon-owned Zoox, Motional, and Tesla in multiple markets.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Autonomous Vehicles.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Waymo now operates driverless rides in 14 US cities with 3,000 vehicles and $16 billion behind it; if you build any component of autonomous ride-hailing (mapping, sensors, connectivity, routing, liability insurance), Waymo just became your distribution channel or your acquirer. The race to 1 million weekly rides this year means suppliers get bought or locked in now.
