Waymo to Launch Autonomous Ride-Hailing Service in Central Florida by 2026

Waymo, a subsidiary of Google, is set to introduce its autonomous ride-hailing service in Central Florida by 2026. This expansion will allow residents and visitors in Orlando to access driverless robo-taxis, adding to the regions where Waymo already operates, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. The initiative is part of a broader trend towards autonomous vehicles (AVs) aimed at reducing congestion and improving road safety. However, the rollout of AVs has sparked debates over safety and job security, with labor unions expressing concerns about the potential loss of jobs for professional drivers. Despite these concerns, Florida has positioned itself as an AV-friendly state, with legislation that supports the deployment of these technologies.
