Meet Waymo.
Designed with Phoenix at heart.

Fully autonomous rides are in Phoenix. Experience a new first.

With millions of miles of testing and feedback from local riders, we’ve designed the Waymo Driver for the Valley of the Sun. From Encanto Park to Sky Harbor International Airport, we’ll take the wheel wherever you need to go in Downtown Phoenix or the East Valley.

Be one of the first to experience fully autonomous rides in our all-electric, Jaguar I-PACE vehicles with just the tap of a button.

Where you can go

Within Arizona, Waymo currently operates in Downtown Phoenix and the East Valley. Let the Waymo Driver take the wheel here and beyond as our territory expands.

The Waymo Driver is our autonomous driving technology with unmatched experience and safety at its heart

The Waymo Driver has over 20 million miles of real-world driving experience through countless situations - the equivalent of driving to the Moon and back 40 times

We follow a rigorous safety framework that combines multiple methods that help verify and validate our safety readiness and meet applicable laws and regulations.

We’ve tested for over a decade in more than ten states, and today we are safely operating a fully autonomous, publicly available ride-hailing service in Metro Phoenix - the latest step in safely bringing this technology to more people and places

I like being able to relax, not worry about having a stressful commute, and not having to question the driver's decision making abilities.

How do I sign up to ride in Downtown Phoenix?
What safety measures do you employ?
Is it safe to be near the lidar sensors on your vehicles?
What is the climate impact of your vehicles?
Where do you operate locally?
Can your cars be hacked?
Can your cars be hacked?
Protection against hacking is a key priority, which is why we have multiple layers of security designed to prevent unauthorized sources from accessing our autonomous driving system. Steering, braking, and controllers are isolated from outside communication. The onboard computer that maintains responsibility for the driving task at all times is shielded from wireless networks. When our vehicles communicate with our fleet response team, all cellular connections are encrypted. And we’re constantly evolving our technology to help ensure we have secure protections.
How do your cars know how to share the road with cyclists?
How do your cars know how to share the road with cyclists?
Many of us are cyclists ourselves, and our personal experiences on the road help shape our engineering and product decisions. We also work with local bicycle coalitions to make sure our testing and validation procedures account for a diverse range of scenarios. Our vehicles are equipped with a combination of sensors designed to see 360 degrees around the vehicle, day and night, and our vision system can identify details like pedestrians and stop signs up to 500 meters away. Vehicles driven by the Waymo Driver all share the same behavior — safe, courteous, reliable — which removes a lot of the uncertainty for those around them. Making sure all road users feel safe is a top priority for us.
