Driverless paid rides in several US cities. Around 500,000 paid rides per week reported in 2026. Target is 1 million per week by end-2026.
The numbers
What it is
Fully driverless robotaxi service run by Waymo, an Other Bets company. Riders book through an app. Waymo is expanding city by city in the US and has named more cities as next.
Why it matters to the stock. Waymo is the clearest test of autonomous ride-hailing against Tesla's robotaxi plans. It is also the largest bet inside Other Bets, which lost $7.5B in operating income in FY2025.
