According to Sawyer Merritt, Waymo has officially begun offering fully autonomous rides to the public in Miami, Florida, marking a significant milestone for the AI-powered mobility sector. Nearly 10,000 residents have already registered for the service, and Waymo is onboarding new riders across an initial 60-square-mile service area. This expansion demonstrates the practical application of advanced AI in urban transportation, opening new business opportunities for AI-driven mobility solutions and accelerating the adoption of robotaxi services in high-density markets.

This move marks a significant advancement in the deployment of AI-driven autonomous mobility solutions, expanding Tesla's reach in major international markets. The app’s launch opens up new business opportunities for AI-powered transportation services, and positions Tesla as a leader in scalable, real-world autonomous vehicle applications. The widespread rollout demonstrates growing global acceptance of AI in ride-hailing and urban mobility, paving the way for further innovation and adoption in the autonomous vehicle sector.

According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has expanded its Austin Robotaxi service geofence by 44%, increasing its total coverage area to 243 square miles. This makes Tesla’s service area 3.7 times larger than Waymo’s in Austin. However, Waymo continues to operate a fleet that is about 3–4 times larger than Tesla’s in the same city. This expansion highlights Tesla’s aggressive push into autonomous vehicle markets, positioning itself as a major competitor in urban robotaxi services and offering new business opportunities for AI-driven mobility solutions.
