Waymo is expanding its Waymo One on-demand robot taxi service to Miami, Florida. The self-propelled unit announced an update in a blog post on its official website.
Miami provides an environment for Waymo to improve its self-driving technology, especially when it comes to dealing with challenging weather conditions.
Details:
- Initial testing of Waymo cars on the streets of Miami will begin in early 2025, with full public access expected by 2026.
- The service will use Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACE in line with the city’s sustainability goals.
- A strategic alliance with Moove the mobility company will initially operate a fleet in Phoenix before expanding the model to Miami. The driverless robotaxi service will be offered through the Waymo One app.
- The Miami expansion follows the success of Waymo operations in Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austinwhere it currently provides over 150,000 trips per week.
