Waymo is expanding its autonomous vehicle testing to 10 new cities in 2025, including Las Vegas and San Diego, to evaluate how well its technology adapts to different environments. The company emphasizes understanding regional driving behaviors and weather variations through these tests. Las Vegas poses unique challenges, such as dense traffic and complex street layouts, while San Diego offers a chance to validate performance with little prior data. Waymo is also considering future robotaxi services in other major cities like Austin, Atlanta, and Miami.

'So what we're looking for is places that are going to challenge our system and look very, very different,' said Nick Rose.
Las Vegas is known for its dense traffic and chaotic drop-off zones outside of hotels and casinos along the Strip.
We want to validate that the system performs well in San Diego without having a ton of prior driving information there.
