Waymo, Alphabet Inc.'s autonomous vehicle company, has announced an expansion of its ride-hailing services in California after receiving regulatory approval from the California Public Utilities Commission. The expansion will cover the South Bay and most of San Jose. Waymo recently achieved 250,000 weekly paid autonomous robotaxi trips and is collaborating with Toyota to explore personal ownership options for autonomous vehicles. Experts believe Tesla's upcoming robotaxi launch will not be impacted by Waymo's developments, with some asserting Tesla will dominate the autonomous market.
