Waymo

Alphabet's Waymo completed over 1 million paid robotaxi rides in San Francisco and Phoenix by 2025, raising $5.6 billion in external funding at a $45 billion implied valuation. Its 6th-generation Waymo One vehicles operate fully driverless 24/7, logging over 50,000 weekly trips, outperforming rival startup Mistral AI in terms of commercial deployment. With expansions into LA, Austin, and Atlanta, Waymo is closer to commercializing autonomous driving than any competitor, with plans to deploy 10,000 vehicles by the end of 2026.
