That’s a Wrap! Waymo’s 2024 Year in Review
2024 has been a year of incredible growth, connection, and learning for Waymo. We couldn't be more grateful for our riders and the trust they’ve placed in us to serve over 150,000 trips every week. To all those who’ve been with us from day one in Phoenix to our daily riders in San Francisco, trendsetters in Los Angeles, and early riders in Austin — thank you for coming on this journey with us.
We served over 4 million fully autonomous rides this year alone, bringing us to over 5 million rides total. With the Waymo Driver at the wheel, riders enjoyed over 1 million hours in their own trusted space to make the most of their time – working on the go, belting karaoke, or just sitting back to unwind. And with our all-electric fleet powered by renewable energy, Waymo riders helped avoid over 6 million kilograms of CO2 emissions*.
To provide riders with more travel options, we expanded our service areas across all of our cities in 2024. We now serve nearly 500 square miles encompassing four major metropolitan areas to get people where they’re going safely. The most popular destinations in each city this year were Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, The Ferry Building in SF, and The Grove shopping center in LA.
And as a little gift for our frequent Waymo One riders, your 2024 Year in Review is ready! Starting today, riders who’ve taken over four trips this year can look back on their travels and the sustainable impact they made this year. Be sure to update your Waymo One app, check out your Year in Review, and share with friends!
Beyond the numbers, we are so proud of the impact we’ve made in our communities this year. Whether helping blinded veterans navigate the world, offering new options for neurodivergent travelers, or making it easier to connect with public transit, we're thrilled to see riders gain independence and value from our service as it grows.
With 2024 coming to a close, we excitedly look ahead to what the new year will bring. With Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles now fully open to the public, the opportunity to provide safe and sustainable transportation for more riders has never been greater. We’re hard at work preparing to commercially launch in Austin and Atlanta on the Uber app next year, and continue to lay the groundwork for a Miami launch with fleet partner Moove in 2026. We’re also excited about our first international road trip to Tokyo next year in partnership with Nihon Kotsu and GO.
Thanks to all who came along for the ride with us in 2024! And for those ready to join in on the celebration with us in the new year, download the Waymo One app and ride today.
