The Waymo driverless taxi service has officially launched in Tampa.
The company announced Tuesday that people can begin scheduling trips on their app.
Tampa is one of three cities added to the list of 14 that will provide the robotaxi service, along with Denver and San Diego.
The service covers nearly 50 square miles, from Westhore and Tampa International Airport to East Tampa (50th and 56th streets), and Hyde Park to Temple Crest (south of Busch Boulevard). It includes downtown, Ybor City and Raymond James Stadium.
“Tampa’s innovative spirit continues to draw companies that are on the forefront of technology to our city,” said Tampa Mayor Jane Castor in a news release.
“Waymo’s launch in Tampa provides another effective – and exciting – way to get around, helping us in our goal to strengthen our transportation network and provide options for every preference or need.”
Waymo began testing the service on Tampa streets in December 2025, working with Tampa Fire Rescue and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
Tesla officially launched its robotaxi service in sections of Tampa last month.
And St. Pete Catalyst reported last month that the company could consider expanding into Pinellas County.
If you're concerned the rides aren't safe: Waymo says that through March of this year, its vehicles were involved in 94% fewer serious injury crashes compared to human drivers.
