A sustainable way to move

Waymo dome

Our fully autonomous, all-electric fleet provides a zero-emission ride for everyone—serving our goal of empowering people to move safely and sustainably. We're building a future of sustainable transportation, one community at a time, by expanding electric vehicle access and supporting walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented neighborhoods.

Electric vehicle access for all

Shared electric transportation

Waymo's shared fully electric fleet connects more people with fully-autonomous rides. Whether someone can’t afford a personal vehicle, chooses not to own one, or is unable to drive, Waymo makes electric vehicle travel an accessible option for a wider range of people.

We’ve provided access to electric vehicles to hundreds of thousands of riders, and have served millions of fully electric autonomous trips.
