Waymo has officially launched its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Miami, Florida. After months of rigorous testing—navigating everything from the blazing South Florida sun to those sudden, blinding tropical downpours—the Waymo Driver is officially open for business. Miami joins Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as one of the few cities in the world where you can hail a car with no one in the driver’s seat.
“Miami is a city defined by its energy, myriad of global cultures, and its forward-looking spirit, and Waymo is proud to add to that momentum,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO of Waymo. “We’re excited to offer its residents and visitors a safe, reliable, and magical way to move around and look forward to earning their trust with every ride.”
Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Anthony Rodriguez said: “Miami-Dade County welcomes Waymo as it begins driverless vehicle operations in our community. As a county that embraces innovation, we see the potential for emerging mobility technologies to expand transportation options and support a more connected future. We look forward to working collaboratively while ensuring these operations meet our high standards for safety, transparency, and accountability, and that they integrate thoughtfully into our transportation network for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.”
Miami is just the beginning of a massive 2026 expansion. If you aren’t in South Florida, don’t worry—Waymo has its sights set on Orlando, Dallas, Houston, and Washington D.C. next.
