Waymo currently provides public driverless robotaxi service in 15 U.S. metros, including full open access in Phoenix, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, San Diego, and Nashville, with Austin and Atlanta available via Uber and gradual rollouts in Denver and Las Vegas. October 2026 saw three additional cities open fully to all riders plus area expansions in five existing markets, but no new metro launches have followed. With regulatory approvals, mapping, and infrastructure needs typically requiring months rather than weeks, and no credible reports of imminent entries before year-end, trader consensus heavily favors the 12-15 range. Upcoming catalysts remain limited to service-area growth or fleet scaling within current cities.
