Waymo has significantly expanded its fleet of driverless ride-sharing vehicles in California and nationwide. California Public Utilities Commission data shows 1,429 Waymo vehicles operating in the state, with 875 associated with a San Francisco terminal. Earlier CPUC figures from March 2025 recorded 1,087 vehicles in California and 762 in San Francisco. Waymo reported more than 1,500 self-driving vehicles nationwide in May and over 2,000 commercial vehicles by August, including roughly 400 in Phoenix and 500 in Los Angeles. The fleet includes both test vehicles and ones deployed for ride-sharing, and the company has expanded its service footprint within operating cities.
Tesla Robotaxi rival Waymo has confirmed that it has expanded its fleet of driverless ride-sharing vehicles in the Bay Area of California massively since its last public disclosure. It is perhaps one of the most important metrics in the race for autonomous supremacy, along with overall service area. Tesla has seemed to focus on the latter, while expanding its fleet slowly to maintain safety.
Waymo, on the other hand, is bringing its fleet size across the country to significant levels. In March, it told The SF Examiner that there were over 300 Waymos in service in the San Francisco area, which was not a significant increase from the 250 vehicles on the road it reported in August 2023. In May, the company said in a press release that it had more than 1,500 self-driving Waymos operating nationwide. More than 600 were in the San Francisco area.
However, new data from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) said Waymo had 1,429 vehicles operating in California, and 875 of them were "associated with a terminal in San Francisco," according to The SF Examiner. CPUC data from March 2025 indicated that there were a total of 1,087 Waymo vehicles in California, with 762 located in San Francisco. Some were test vehicles, others were deployed to operate as ride-sharing vehicles.
