Waymo announced Wednesday that its self-driving vehicles have received the green light to offer rides on San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix and Los Angeles freeways.

Freeway rides across San Francisco, the Peninsula and South Bay would become available for select trips this week, and roll out to more riders over time, the company said.

San Diegans will now join the residents of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta and Austin, Texas, who, the Alphabet-owned company said, take hundreds of thousands for trips every week in the driverless cabs.

Waymo already operates driverless services in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin, and has completed more than 10 million trips.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport became the first major airport to offer fully autonomous Waymo rides to its terminals. Waymo said in September 2025 that it has "served hundreds of thousands of trips to/from Sky Harbor, and it remains the single most popular Waymo destination in Phoenix."
