Waymo fully launched robotaxi service in Houston, Texas, today. You may recall that Waymo started inviting customers to use its service in Space City about 6 months ago. I didn’t recall that at first when I saw the news today that Waymo was launching in Houston, but I suspected it might be the case, so I dug back through the archives and found that was the case. The thing with Waymo these days is that it makes at least a few announcements for each city.
The news today is that Waymo has gotten through its phased rollout to customers who expressed interest in using the robotaxi service in Houston and has now opened up the opportunity to anybody. If you’re in Houston and you download the app, you can hail a Waymo robotaxi ride in the city. “Since opening our service in February, we’ve welcomed more than 100,000 riders in Houston from our interest list to experience the safety, reliability, and magic of Waymo, and now we’re offering our service to everyone,” Waymo wrote.
