Waymo is growing its driverless service area by nearly 250 square miles over the next week, spread across Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
📌 The Core Development
That’s about as big as Tesla’s entire Houston Robotaxi geofence after this week’s expansion, and Waymo is adding it in cities where it already runs with nobody in the driver’s seat.
The company announced the expansion in a short post on its blog today. Here’s what changes in each market, with Waymo’s updated service area maps:
🔍 Background & Sector Context
Service now runs down the coast into the South Bay, through Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach to Torrance.
The zone pushes further south, and riders can now get to the zoo.
📊 Industry & Real-World Impact
Coverage on the east side nearly doubles, and there’s more service downtown.
