Waymo's co-CEO on the challenge of scaling robotaxis safely | TechCrunch
"It is imperative that we scale."
"By the end of 2026, you should expect us to be offering 1 million trips per week," she said."
"It is incumbent upon [them] to be transparent about what's happening," she said. "And if you are not being transparent, then it is my view that you are not doing what is necessary in order to actually earn the right to make the road safer."
Waymo is accelerating geographic expansion across multiple U.S. cities and plans a London launch in 2026 while pursuing partnerships with Uber, Lyft, and Avis. The company aims to scale service volume to reduce costs and improve road safety, projecting one million trips per week by the end of 2026. Waymo asserts its autonomous system operates at a safety level superior to typical human drivers and emphasizes the need for transparency from competitors about safety performance. The company continues to resolve edge cases during expansion, with regulators investigating incidents such as a recent Atlanta event involving a Waymo vehicle and a stopped school bus.
