Waymo is scaling fast: Here’s what the fleet data shows. Waymo now averaging 500,000 paid robotaxi rides every week.

Waymo is quietly turning robotaxis from a tech demo into infrastructure. 500,000 paid rides a week, roughly 4,000 cars and 15 US cities is no longer a cute experiment. The interesting part: 80% of the fleet is still concentrated in California and Texas. Scale first where density works, then expand. Tesla has a real race on its hands.

Not really a race. Waymo uses LIDAR, RADAR, and cameras. Last I checked Tesla only uses cameras.
