Waymo has introduced Waymo for Business, an enterprise transportation program that gives companies broader access to its autonomous vehicle fleet. The service, available at launch in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix, lets firms set up commuter programs, event transport and other corporate travel options through a dedicated portal that includes budget and ride‑activity metrics. While still in early stages, Waymo expects the offering to evolve based on customer feedback. The rollout comes amid a busy year for Waymo, which also debuted a teen account option, plans tests in ten new cities, and eyes expansion to Nashville in 2026. Lire la suite

Waymo announced a partnership with Lyft to bring a robotaxi service to Nashville, planning to test a fleet of all‑electric Jaguar I‑Pace vehicles before opening the service to the public.

Riders will initially hail rides via the Waymo app, with future integration into the Lyft app. The arrangement mirrors Waymo’s earlier collaborations but differs from its Uber partnership, where customers must use the Uber app for robotaxi rides.

The company already operates driverless fleets in five U.S. markets and is expanding its footprint to include Denver, Seattle, Miami and Washington, D.C., while also securing test permissions in New York City and conducting early trials in Tokyo with human‑driven cars.
