Waymo plans to dispatch robotaxis in Dallas next year as its driverless expansion races ahead

Waymo has announced plans to expand its robotaxi service to Dallas next year. This will make Dallas the second major Texas city for Waymo, following its move into Austin earlier this year. Unlike Austin, where rides are ordered through Uber's app, Dallas rides will be available via Waymo’s own app. The company will partner with Avis Budget Group to manage its fleet. Waymo's robotaxis are already operating in cities like Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. As Waymo expands, it continues to lead the race for driverless ride-hailing services, outpacing rivals like Tesla and Amazon.
