Waypoint: The official Waymo blog

Today, we’re announcing that Waymo for Business is integrated with Ramp, making it easier for organizations and their employees to manage expenses when using our fully autonomous ride-hailing service.

For over a year, Waymo for Business has offered 24/7 reliability and convenience directly to organizations embracing Waymo for their transportation needs. Now, our integration with Ramp makes the experience even more seamless for businesses and their employees by reducing manual expense reporting. 

When an employee rides with Waymo, their ride receipt is automatically connected to Ramp and matched with the corresponding charge, eliminating the need to find, upload and attach the receipt manually. For businesses already using Ramp, that means an easier way to incorporate Waymo into work travel while simplifying the expense process for employees.

Waymo is getting you to even more places. Over the next week, we’re scaling in five cities and adding nearly 250 square miles of territory across Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Want to hail a ride? Here are all the new places we’ll take you to:

• In LA we're extending down the coast to the South Bay, adding Torrance.

• People in Nashville can travel further south, like to the zoo.

• Over in Orlando, we’re nearly doubling our coverage area in the east, including enhanced service downtown.

• In San Diego, we’re headed north to La Jolla.

• For the San Francisco Bay Area, we’re getting you to more areas in the south, including a new BART connection at Berryessa Station.

Starting today, Las Vegas travelers can catch their next flight at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) via safe, reliable, and magical Waymo rides. Current Waymo riders in Las Vegas now have airport access, and we’ll gradually welcome more riders over time before opening to everyone. Pickups and dropoffs will conveniently occur at dedicated autonomous vehicle zones on Ground Zero Level at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

Harry Reid International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the United States and serves as the primary gateway for millions of visitors traveling to Las Vegas each year. Waymo riders can travel to any destination they desire within our current 24 square mile service area, with plans to serve more of the region over time.

This marquee connection to LAS deepens our relationship in the community, building on our recently announced partnerships as the official ride-hailing partner of the Las Vegas Raiders and Allegiant Stadium, as well as The Venetian Resort. Waymo is proud to support Nevada's economy, tourism industry, and local communities.

“We’re excited to welcome Waymo’s autonomous fleet to our airport,” said James C. Chrisley, Clark County Director of Aviation. “We serve millions of passengers every year, and as new technologies continue to evolve, we’re always looking for ways to bring new options and added convenience to our travelers. Welcoming Waymo is another step toward giving our passengers more choices in how they get to and from the airport.”

“Fully autonomous Waymo rides at Harry Reid International Airport offer a seamless, stress-free way for travelers to catch a flight or hit the town,” said Arica Gately, Head of Airport Business Development and Partnerships, Waymo. “Thank you to LAS for partnering with us on this journey and helping us add a bit of magic to your airport’s travel experience.”

Starting today, anyone in San Antonio, San Diego, and Tampa can download the Waymo app and hail a fully autonomous ride, including the San Antonio International Airport. We’ve welcomed hundreds of thousands of riders in these cities since opening our service earlier in the year, whether heading to the beach, a hockey game, the Riverwalk or just a grocery run.

While these cities have different personalities, they have similar needs. They have embraced Waymo as an important resource for expanding accessible and reliable transportation options across the region. 

Speaking of options, Waymo is the newest way for people catch a flight in the Alamo City. Jesus Saenz, Director of Airports for the City of San Antonio Aviation, said: “San Antonio International Airport is committed to building the airport of the future and embracing cutting-edge technology and innovation. Waymo offering fully autonomous rides at the airport marks a significant milestone for Waymo, our city and travelers. Whether visitors are heading downtown or locals are catching an early-morning flight, they now have a new option to get there.”

In San Diego, Bob Kelly, Founder CEO of the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation, said Waymo is helping older riders do more: “Transportation is the lifeline of independence for older adults. Self-driving technology like Waymo’s isn’t just about innovation — it’s about inclusion. San Diego should be at the forefront of bringing safe, reliable, and accessible mobility options to seniors who deserve to stay active and connected.” 

Over in Florida, Scott Young, Board Chair for Lighthouse for the Blind & Low Vision, said Waymo improves how his community can access more of Tampa. “For our clients, transportation is the number one barrier for their independence. A lot of them lose their sight at some point in their life or their vision decreases significantly, and they can't drive anymore. They need to rely on family members or friends or others to get you places. With Waymo, they get their independence back.” 

Getting around San Antonio, San Diego, and Tampa has never been easier. Simply download the Waymo app and ride today!

We’re adding a new version of the Ojai to our growing fleet. It debuts with a silver exterior finish, and curated color and trim updates to the interior. 

Riders will experience soft leatherette seating, matching seatbelts, carpeted flooring, and high-contrast trim accents. Beyond aesthetics, we’ve added functional amenities, including a wireless phone charger, new seats and rear armrests, 

The silver Ojai is ramping up production at our Mesa, AZ driver integration plant and hitting the road for testing now. In the coming weeks, it will begin serving rides in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas before scaling to many more cities over time.

Across Waymo’s 270 million autonomous miles, the data is unequivocal: at least 841 people* avoided injuries they otherwise would have sustained in a traffic crash. Over 300 human lifetimes of driving, the Waymo Driver continues to meaningfully improve road safety.

Our latest analysis of the Waymo Driver’s safety performance now covers over 270 million miles of fully autonomous operations through the end of June 2026 — the distance equivalent of driving the length of Route 66 over 110,000 times. This safety data includes analysis of five of our major metropolitan service areas: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco.

Across these cities, the Waymo Driver continues to outperform human benchmarks. Regardless of fault, it was involved in 841 fewer injury-causing crashes — an 82% reduction compared to human drivers. When it comes to more severe collisions, the impact is even more pronounced: the Waymo Driver was involved in 95% fewer (20x fewer) serious injury or worse crashes than humans.

The safety impact extends directly to where road users are most exposed. Whether it's riding in a bike lane alongside the vehicle, stepping into a crosswalk at dusk, or navigating dense traffic on a motorcycle, the Waymo Driver significantly reduces risk — cutting injury-causing crashes involving pedestrians by 93%, cyclists by 86%, and motorcyclists by 82%.

As our operations scale, so does the positive safety impact the Waymo Driver has on roads, our riders, the communities we serve, and the healthcare ecosystems that serve these communities.

View the full data and methodology here. The Waymo Driver also undergoes a formal safety review before deployment on public roads. You can see the acceptance criteria used to evaluate its readiness in this paper.

*Based on 841 estimated injury-causing crashes prevented, assuming a conservative baseline of at least one injured person per crash
