Long known as the Gateway to the West, now St. Louis will serve as a gateway to the future of transportation, as we lay the early groundwork to offer our fully-autonomous ride-hailing service in the city!

Starting this week, we’ll begin manually driving a fleet of our all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles around the city, as we get to know the community and begin preparations to welcome public riders in the future. Our approach in St. Louis will be the same as a growing list of others Waymo now operates in – diligently following our safety framework as we validate our technology and deliberately scale our service over time. The data to date shows we are improving road safety where we operate, and we look forward to bringing our technology to Missouri.

“Waymo’s arrival in St. Louis is an exciting step forward for our state,” said Jon Patterson, Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives. “It will offer a safe and reliable transportation option for its residents. I look forward to working with Waymo to safely introduce this technology to our communities.”
