Waymo Boasts "Exponential Scaling" - CleanTechnica

Waymo recently announced that its fully autonomous robotaxi service is now operating 24/7 in Orlando, Florida, and San Antonio, Texas, bringing the total number of cities with active Waymo robotaxis to ten. Co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov highlighted the company’s rapid expansion, describing it as “exponential scaling,” with the number of cities doubling within a few weeks. This growth demonstrates Waymo’s ability to deploy its autonomous driving technology across diverse urban environments without significant retraining or delays. Additionally, Waymo received an extension of its autonomous driving permit from the New York City Department of Transportation through March 31, 2026, signaling ongoing preparations to enter the New York market despite current legal hurdles preventing active service there. While questions remain about the scale of vehicle deployment in each market—San Francisco currently having the largest fleet—Waymo’s progress indicates a strategic push toward broader urban coverage and increased robotaxi availability in the near future.
