Waymo has expanded its robotaxi service area in Austin, increasing coverage from 37 square miles to 90 square miles, which includes new neighborhoods like Crestview and Windsor Park. This expansion allows more people to experience self-driving rides. However, Waymo's service is only available through the Uber app, which does not let users specifically request a robotaxi. Conversely, Tesla's service is invite-only, limiting broader access for potential riders, with availability and further enhancements unclear. Both companies are competing in the expanding Austin robotaxi market.
Waymo announced it has more than doubled its service area in Austin from about 37 square miles to 90 square miles, covering new neighborhoods like Crestview and Windsor Park.
Tesla recently showed off an expanded geofence in Austin, but its robotaxi service is limited to an invite-only basis for now, leaving many potential users disappointed.
Waymo's expansion allows more people to experience fully autonomous rides, but they can only book through the Uber app, which does not guarantee a robotaxi.
Both Waymo and Tesla are in competition, with their service areas significantly growing in Austin; however, limitations in user access remain a challenge for potential customers.
