“Waymo is accelerating its rollout of robotaxis in the U.S., adding four new cities in Texas and Florida this week as self-driving technology begins to penetrate mainstream America…

The newest markets are Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Orlando.

The service will start slowly, with riders invited on a rolling basis until Waymo adds more cars to its fleet and scales up necessary operations like vehicle charging, service and maintenance.

By later this year, it will be more widely available, Waymo says…

It’s laying the groundwork for service in at least 20 cities, and is on track to provide more than one million driverless rides per week by the end of the year.”
