Key Points
- Waymo said Thursday its sixth-generation, Ojai robotaxis are now providing driverless rides for employees and their guests in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
- The Alphabet-owned company said the new robotaxis use more cost-effective parts and can better navigate in harsh weather, key to Waymo’s expansion.
- By upgrading its tech, and adding more vehicles to its fleet, Waymo aims to extend its U.S. lead and lock in loyal riders.
Waymo’s Robotaxi service currently operates in the markets of Austin, the San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Miami, where it began offering service in January. In 2026, the company plans to open service in Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando, San Antonio, San Diego and Washington. It also plans to expand to London, its first international market.

Does this use more or less Filipino intervention?
Cannot wait to see these cars navigate a medieval sized street with a Thursday night crowd of city workers standing in the road drinking pints.
Is Ojai the city in Philippines where they steer the cars?
Awesome, I love these things. Significantly better than an uber with a human driver!
This is really is starting to feel like the cashier-less Amazon store scam
