All San Francisco residents now have access to Waymo's robotaxi service.

• Waymo, a company owned by Alphabet, has made its robotaxis available to all San Francisco residents, the company announced on Tuesday.
• The service is available in limited capacity in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas, in addition to operating for all users in Phoenix.

Self-driving ride-hailing service Waymo robotaxis is now accessible to all users in San Francisco, expanding its availability beyond a limited number of riders.

Since August, when Waymo began commercial passenger operations after testing, nearly 300,000 individuals have signed up for the Waymo One service.

"Waymo stated in a post that they are dedicated to expanding their service in a gradual and responsible manner. They collaborate with city and state officials, first responders, and road safety advocates to ensure their service benefits local communities by providing reliable, safe, and eco-friendly transportation options, while positively impacting mobility."

Waymo is launching its second citywide rollout, this time in San Francisco, after successfully implementing the service in Phoenix in 2020. Additionally, Waymo One operates in limited capacity in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. As of February, the company had approximately 700 vehicles in the Waymo One fleet.

Recent accidents involving driverless vehicles have sparked criticism from the public. In October, Cruise temporarily halted its autonomous operations after investigations and a suspension of its licenses in California following collisions.

Waymo has faced less controversy due to its extensive public affairs operation and close communication with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and local first responders.

Waymo, a 15-year-old project that became a company in 2016, has driven over 10 million fully autonomous miles and served over 1 million ride-hail trips. Additionally, the company has logged 3.8 million rider-only miles in San Francisco as of the end of March.
