"Waymo's expansion across the U.S. is showing no signs of slowing. The Alphabet-owned company launched its driverless ride-hailing service in Miami, Florida, on Thursday, marking expansion into its sixth U.S. city, with several more already in the pipeline. Not everyone in Miami can hail a Waymo just yet. The company said roughly 10,000 residents have already signed up to ride in its lidar-equipped Jaguar I-Pace electric crossovers. New riders will be invited in waves as it scales up the local fleet with more cars."
"By mid-December, Waymo logged over 20 million paid driverless rides and was averaging nearly half a million weekly trips across San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin and Atlanta. Miami will push those numbers even higher in what will likely be Waymo's most aggressive growth year yet, if everything goes as planned. The robotaxis will initially serve a roughly 60-square-mile area, covering neighborhoods such as the Design District and Coral Gables, with plans to eventually include Miami International Airport."
