Today, Waymo operates in Phoenix; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; and Atlanta. It plans to add Miami in 2026 and is testing vehicles in Las Vegas and New York. London will be the first European market for the company. It has been in Tokyo for several months.

Waymo has spent the past several years scaling up its robotaxi business. The partnership with DoorDash could mark a return to delivery.
As the U.K. government continues to develop guidelines and approval processes, it might take time for Waymo to be able to scale in England.
Waymo is using partnerships with ride-hailing giants like Uber and Lyft as one strategy to get more riders inside its robotaxis.
DoorDash partners with Waymo to test self-driving car deliveries in Phoenix. DashPass members also get $10 off monthly Waymo rides through
