""We're the first airport in the state of California to have Waymos coming online," San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said. "They're in testing right now, but we hope to see them go fully autonomous soon.""
""To conveniently get from point A to point B safely and efficiently, autonomous vehicles on demand will be a really important part of that experience for thousands of people," Mahan said."
""There's a lot of anxiety around travel for human beings," Justine Barnett said. "So, if you had a car that didn't have that anxiety and just focusing on the roads, I think it would be helpful.""
Waymo will operate at San Jose Mineta International Airport later this year, bringing autonomous vehicles to South Bay streets and airport rides. The airport will be among the first locations for Waymo riders in the region. Testing is underway with plans to move toward full autonomy. Readiness is expected ahead of major 2026 events, including the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup, which will bring tens of thousands of visitors. The initiative aims to provide convenient, safe, and efficient mobility solutions for incoming visitors. Passengers reacted positively, citing closer drop-offs, fewer pickup calls, and reduced travel anxiety.
