Waymo is growing its service area in San Francisco and Los Angeles as it seeks to bring in more revenue to help cover the losses of its robotaxi business.
Waymo is spreading out a little more in the two major cities in which it operates. The robotaxi company announced today that it was growing its service areas in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, as the company seeks to attract more customers to its burgeoning business. In San Francisco, Waymo’s service area is extending south of the city into the San Francisco Peninsula to cover Daly City, Broadmoor, and Colma — a total of 10 additional square miles for a total of 55 square miles.
But it’s significant to Waymo, which aims to prove that it can grow faster in each successive city in which it launches. The fact that it is already growing in LA, despite only launching there a few months ago, is a sign of growing confidence in the company’s driverless vehicles. Another sign of confidence is the recent $5 billion commitment from parent company Alphabet, which should help the company grow over the next few years.
