Special Edition: Waymo co-CEO on the Road to 1 Million Robotaxi Rides a Week | Bloomberg Tech
Executive Summary
Waymo is transitioning from a high-stakes "scientific project" to a commercial powerhouse, recently solidified by a $16 billion funding round at a $126 billion valuation. The company is currently operating 400,000 paid rides per week across six U.S. cities and aims to hit 1 million rides per week by the end of 2026. While leading the "robotaxi race" through a multi-sensor redundancy approach (Lidar, Radar, and Cameras), Waymo is navigating complex regulatory landscapes in New York City and preparing for its first international launches in London and Tokyo.
