Waymo at Nearly 1 Million Paid Trips a Month in California - CleanTechnica

Waymo has experienced rapid growth in its autonomous ride-hailing service in California, reaching approximately 876,000 paid driverless trips per month as of May 2025. This figure represents a sixfold increase compared to May 2024 and an astonishing 69-fold increase since August 2023, highlighting the company’s aggressive scaling phase in the state. While Waymo has not officially announced reaching the milestone of one million monthly trips, publicly available data from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) suggests it may be close. The company’s expansion is primarily focused on California, but it is also continuing testing and promotional activities in other markets like New York. Waymo’s growth trajectory indicates significant potential for further increases in autonomous ride volumes over the next few years. This rapid scaling underscores Waymo’s position as a leading player in the self-driving taxi industry, with ongoing developments and marketing efforts supporting its broader adoption.
