Google’s Waymo to expand autonomous driving service to Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh
Alphabet-owned Waymo announced Wednesday that it’s planning on expanding to four additional cities — Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh — though it hasn’t provided a timeline for when customers will be able to access autonomous services in those cities. It’s begun autonomous testing with a safety monitor in Philadelphia, and is collecting data with manual drivers in Baltimore, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh.
The latest announcement comes after a slew of other expansion announcements last month, growing its footprint across the country and strengthening its lead against Tesla. Waymo is currently operating commercial services in five cities and has plans to expand that service to about 20 more.
