(Bloomberg) : Waymo, Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous driving unit, will hit more than one million paid weekly robotaxi rides in the US by the end of this year, according to co-Chief Executive Officer Tekedra Mawakana. In some cases, Waymo can go from mapping a city to the start of paid rides in just a matter of months. Waymo began fully autonomous operations in Nashville earlier this week ahead of a planned commercial launch with Lyft Inc. later this year. Waymo is the top provider of paid autonomous vehicle services in the US, with a pack of well-funded others chasing the market. The company currently provides about 400,000 paid rides per week across the six cities.
