The expansion comes eight months after Waymo began offering rides in Los Angeles to a limited group of passengers chosen from a waiting list that had ballooned to more than 300,000 people.

Waymo on Tuesday opened its robotaxi service to anyone who wants a ride around Los Angeles, marking another milestone in the evolution of self-driving car technology since the company began as a secret project at Google 15 years ago.

Angelenos can hail a robotaxi with the Waymo One app starting Tuesday. There are about 100 taxis in the Los Angeles fleet — but they don't drive freeways.

Alphabet-owned Waymo is removing the waitlist for its self-driving service in Los Angeles, marking its largest expansion yet.

Of course, Waymo is now in direct competition with human-powered transportation services like Uber and Lyft, both of which operate without any pesky geographic restrictions. Those services are often cheaper than Waymo’s vehicles, and customers can expect shorter wait times for rides.

Waymo One, the driverless ride-hailing app, is now fully available to much of greater Los Angeles after the robotaxi service previously started offering rides in LA to a limited number of people on a waiting list.

The autonomous ride-hailng company expands operations from a waiting list of prospective passengers, covering an 80 square-mile area of Los Angeles.

Autonomous car specialist Waymo has said it's expanding its robotaxi service in Los Angeles less than a year after launching there.

While anyone in Los Angeles can book a trip with Waymo there are limitations such as it doesn't provide a ride to airports or trips on the highway.
