"The arrival of Waymo's autonomous vehicle service at Mineta San Jose International Airport marks a significant step forward for San Jose's transportation options, allowing passengers to hail self-driving rides directly from the airport. As the first commercial airport in California to offer this technology, San Jose positions itself at the forefront of modern mobility, potentially making travel more convenient and less expensive residents and visitors alike."
"Initially focused on central areas like Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair, Waymo plans to expand into Downtown San Jose and beyond in the coming months. This development aligns perfectly with the city's growth, enhancing connectivity for shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. Looking ahead to 2026, when San Jose hosts major events including Super Bowl 60, FIFA World Cup matches, and NCAA March Madness, the airport's role becomes even more crucial."
Waymo now operates autonomous rides from Mineta San Jose International Airport, allowing passengers to hail self-driving vehicles. The airport is the first commercial California airport to offer the service and connects San Jose with San Francisco via Bay Area freeways. Initial coverage includes Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair, with planned expansion into Downtown San Jose. The service enhances access to local destinations and will aid transportation for major 2026 events like the Super Bowl and World Cup. Many drivers remain cautious about autonomous vehicles, but trust climbed from 9 percent to 13 percent in the past year. Early riders report improving experiences and occasional willingness to pay more or wait longer for Waymo trips.
