Waymo autonomous rides now open to public in Dallas as waitlist ends
Anyone can now request a driverless ride in the Dallas service area after Waymo said nearly 150,000 people used its invitation-only rollout.
- On Tuesday, Waymo opened its fully autonomous ride-hailing service to all public riders in Dallas, eliminating the waitlist active since the North Texas launch earlier this year.
- Since February, nearly 150,000 people rode in Waymo's autonomous vehicles during the invitation-only phase before today's public expansion.
- Chris Justl, CEO of Epilepsy Foundation Texas, said autonomous vehicles provide independence for people with medical conditions, calling the service "a transformational step forward" for safe, independent travel.
- Though public rides are available, the service excludes Dallas Love Field Airport and freeway routes, which Waymo plans to open after finalizing testing.
- Waymo faces competition from Amazon-owned Zoox and Avride, which launched a partnership with Uber in Dallas late last year, positioning multiple firms in the autonomous ride-hailing market.
