Waymo opens up robotaxi service to everyone in Miami and Orlando

Alphabet’s (GOOGL) (GOOG) Waymo said in a blog post, “Waymo is entering our next major chapter in Florida. After welcoming over 150,000 riders from our initial interest list in Miami and Orlando over the last few months, Waymo is now open to everyone in both cities. Starting today, residents and visitors alike can simply download the Waymo app and hail a fully autonomous ride immediately. To make cross-city trips even more efficient, we’re also beginning to introduce highway travel to our Miami service. Whether you’re commuting from Coral Gables to Wynwood or heading to Miami Beach, highway driving can allow for faster routes across the city. To be among the first to have access to highways in Miami, let us know directly in the app. You’ll be joining our riders across Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, where the Waymo Driver already provides safe, efficient highway trips every day. Waymo is also officially open to the public in Orlando, bringing our trusted ride-hailing service to the City Beautiful. Our service connects the vibrant energy of Parramore with the heart of the city’s major corridors. Locals heading home to Richmond Heights and Williamsburg or visitors exploring Florida Center and Southwest Orlando can now enjoy a stress-free way to move between the neighborhoods.”
