The Alphabet-owned robotaxi company announced plans to start operating fully autonomous vehicles in five new cities: Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando. Only employees and “friends and family” will be able to take trips initially, but Waymo expects to let public customers use its robotaxis sometime in 2026. Add these to the cities the growing list of markets where Waymo says it expects to launch, including San Diego, Boston, New York City, Washington, DC, Denver, Detroit, Seattle, London, and Tokyo.
