Overview
Alphabet's autonomous-driving subsidiary and the most commercially advanced robotaxi operator in the world. Originally the Google Self-Driving Car Project (2009), spun out as Waymo in 2016, it operates the Waymo One ride-hailing service across roughly 11 U.S. metropolitan markets using its sixth-generation Waymo Driver (on Jaguar I-PACE vehicles). Scale: Waymo provides approximately 500,000 paid rides per week (up from ~250,000 a year earlier) and is targeting 1 million weekly rides by the end of 2026. It completed about 15 million rides in 2025 (tripling year-over-year) and has surpassed 20 million lifetime rides, across 127+ million miles of fully autonomous driving. Financials: In February 2026 Waymo closed a $16 billion Series D round at a $126 billion post-money valuation, the largest autonomous-vehicle funding round on record, more than double its $45B October-2024 valuation, bringing total funding raised to roughly $27 billion. Alphabet funds the majority; the round drew Sequoia, Dragoneer, DST Global, a16z, Mubadala, Silver Lake, Tiger Global, T. Rowe Price and others. Annual recurring revenue reportedly exceeded $350 million in 2025 (~$15-20 average fare). Safety positioning (Waymo's own claims): Waymo states its driver is 'statistically superior to human driving,' citing a 90% reduction in serious-injury crashes across 127 million autonomous miles. These are company-stated figures. Accountability / scrutiny: Despite that positioning, rapid expansion has produced regulatory actions: a voluntary software recall after vehicles illegally passed stopped school buses in Texas (NHTSA investigation opened), a ~3,800-vehicle voluntary recall tied to San Antonio floodwater incidents, an NTSB investigation into the Texas school-bus violations, and an NHTSA investigation into a January 2026 incident in which a Waymo struck a child near a Santa Monica school (minor injuries). Waymo temporarily suspended freeway rides in May 2026 after vehicles struggled in construction zones. Expansion: Waymo plans 20+ additional cities in 2026 (Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando, San Antonio, San Diego, Washington DC and more) plus its first international markets, London and Tokyo. Forward plans, distinct from current operating markets.

Ojai
Waymo's first purpose-built robotaxi, manufactured by Zeekr (a Geely subsidiary) with base assembly in Ningbo, China and final assembly in Mesa, Arizona. The Ojai name was assigned at CES on January 7, 2026; production started December 2024. The vehicle seats 4 passengers, carries a 93 kWh/800V battery, and is powered by the sixth-generation Waymo Driver platform with 13 cameras, 4 lidars, 6 radars, and external audio receivers providing up to 500 m detection range. Commercial passenger service began May 28, 2026, replacing the Jaguar I-PACE as the primary Waymo One vehicle.
Retired
Waymo Via (autonomous trucking)
Waymo's autonomous-trucking program (Waymo Via), which applied the Waymo Driver to Class 8 trucks and ran supervised freight pilots with UPS, J.B. Hunt, and Wayfair (and a Daimler Truck partnership). Waymo suspended the Via trucking program in July 2023 to focus on robotaxi, and it was never revived. The Waymo Driver continues only in Waymo's robotaxi application.
Current platform
Waymo Driver 6th-gen
The sixth-generation Waymo Driver is Waymo's autonomous driving stack for fully autonomous robotaxi service. The platform integrates 13 cameras, 4 lidars, 6 radars, and external audio receivers, with overlapping 360° coverage and a detection range up to roughly 500 meters in nominal conditions. Compared to the fifth-generation system on the Jaguar I-PACE, the sixth-gen system uses 42% fewer total sensors. Waymo says the per-unit hardware cost is targeted under $20,000, a more than 50% reduction from the 5th-gen system. Currently runs on the Zeekr RT (sold as the “Ojai” robotaxi, purpose-built without a steering wheel or pedals) and the Hyundai IONIQ 5; began fully autonomous commercial operations in February 2026.

Claims ledger
Public, dated claims by Waymo, each tracked against the evidence. Status is a DEPLOY assessment from primary sources: verified means an independent source confirms it; contradicted means one refutes it; open means the outcome is not yet determinable. Every entry keeps its verbatim quote and source so you can check the call yourself.

“Waymo's goal is to reach 1M trips per week by end of 2026”
Waymo did 15 million driverless rides in 2025 (~288K/week average). Reaching 1M/week would require ~3.5x growth. Ojai launch and highway expansion may help, but 1M/week by year-end is ambitious. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOOb0kkjMX9/?hl=en

“Plans to grow its total fleet to over 3,000 vehicles by end of 2026”
Mesa AZ factory opened (239K sqft). Fleet expansion underway with Jaguar I-Pace and new Ojai vehicle. 3,000 vehicle target is plausible given factory capacity but not yet confirmed.
