Waymo's all-day airport service marks a significant stride for self-driving technology, as it meets the critical demand for accessible and convenient transportation options at busy locations.
Mike Ramsey highlights the strategic importance of airports for mobility services, stating, 'The airport is the primary destination and departure point for any sort of mobility service, whether it's a cab, shuttle bus-or an autonomous robocab.'
Brad Gillette pointed out that the airport has always been a popular destination for Waymo, noting, 'Waymo has operated self-driving vehicles in Arizona since 2017, and began offering rides to Phoenix's airport at the end of 2022.'
Since launching curbside service, Waymo has gained traction, claiming to have facilitated nearly 100,000 rides to and from the airport over the past two years, demonstrating strong user acceptance.
