According to Sawyer Merritt, Waymo has expanded its AI-driven robotaxi operations to deliver over 450,000 paid rides per week, a significant increase from 250,000 rides in April 2025. This growth is supported by a fleet of 2,500 autonomous vehicles distributed across key markets, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, and Atlanta. This rapid expansion demonstrates the scalability and commercial viability of autonomous ride-hailing services powered by advanced AI systems, highlighting substantial business opportunities for companies investing in self-driving technology and urban mobility solutions. The concentration of vehicles in tech-forward cities suggests a targeted strategy to maximize market adoption and operational efficiency (Source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter, Dec 8, 2025).
