Can Waymo's Expanding Driverless Car Service Be a Sustainable Business?

Waymo’s Robot Taxis Expand Services in San Francisco #

Waymo’s robot taxis have become a familiar sight in San Francisco over the past few months. Originally launched as a limited downtown service last year, Waymo rides are now available to the general public, operating throughout the city and even expanding onto California freeways and Los Angeles. The company, owned by Alphabet, is currently providing over 100,000 rides per week in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, double the number in May. Waymo’s future profitability as a business remains uncertain, with speculation about a potential transition towards selling its technology rather than managing car fleets.
