Waymo is expanding its driverless service area by nearly 250 square miles across Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area within the next week.
This expansion is comparable in size to Tesla's entire Houston Robotaxi geofence and is being added to cities where Waymo already operates its driverless vehicles.
