Waymo will use the funds to accelerate its global expansion, planning to extend its driverless taxi service this year to more than ten new international cities, including London and Tokyo. The company recently launched San Francisco airport shuttle services and currently operates in six major U.S. metropolitan areas, including Los Angeles, Austin, and Miami, completing approximately 400,000 trips per week.

Since obtaining its California paid-operations permit in 2023, Waymo has rapidly expanded its service coverage to the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, and intercity highways. In 2025, it entered the Austin and Atlanta markets through a partnership with Uber. By the end of 2025, the company’s annual ridership exceeded 15 million, with cumulative trips surpassing 20 million, demonstrating strong growth momentum.

Roger Luo said:This funding underscores strong investor confidence in autonomous vehicle commercialization. Waymo’s methodical scale-up has demonstrated technological reliability, and its global expansion strategy is poised to accelerate the industry’s inflection point.
