Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver. Since our start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver to improve everyone's access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. Waymo One, our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, has served over 10 million trips to riders in San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin, and Atlanta. The Waymo Driver has autonomously driven tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.
Waymo is proud to work with local advocacy groups like Dori Saves Lives to contribute to a future of safer, more accessible roads. Designed with safety at its heart, the Waymo Driver never gets drunk, tired, or distracted. Waymo has already begun laying the groundwork for fully autonomous operations in Miami, one of our nation's most diverse and dynamic cities. We’re working to open our doors to riders in 2026, via the Waymo One app.
