I recently had the opportunity to hear from some of the @Waymo teen accounts early access participants in Phoenix, and this was such a welcomed option for busy families on the go. Very excited to offer this to all riders in Phoenix starting today, and many more cities soon.
Meet the new ride for on-the-go teens and busy parents. 👋 Waymo teen accounts are now available to riders ages 14-17 in Phoenix. Link accounts today. ✨ Learn more here:

Starting today, @Waymo rides are officially available on the @Uber app in Atlanta! And if Austin is a predictor, Atlanta is in for the same magical experience – Austin riders currently give their Waymo x Uber experience an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars.
The A is going Autonomous! 🎉 Waymo rides are now live in Atlanta, only on @Uber. Increase your chances of getting matched → open the Uber app, go to settings, and toggle Waymo ride preferences on.

Approximately 3,000 people are severely injured in NYC traffic collisions every year. With promising data from 70M+ miles of driving, we want to partner with local officials to help greatly reduce those numbers and improve the status quo on our streets in the future.
New York, we're coming back to the Big Apple next month! 🍎🗽We want to serve New Yorkers in the future, and we’re working towards that goal. Here’s how:👇

Continuing to serve more of our California communities – San Bruno, Burlingame, Menlo Park, Los Altos Hills, Silver Lake, Playa del Ray, and many more. We serve over a quarter-million paid rides each week, and new destinations mean more people can use Waymo One to get where they.
Ride to more places in the Bay and LA. ✨ Starting today in SF, with new areas coming to LA later this week. Download the Waymo One app to see our new service areas.

Our partners at @MADD estimate someone is unfortunately killed or injured in a drunk driving crash every 85 seconds. Just another way we’re improving road safety where we operate.

I fondly remember meeting our first 10 riders in Metro Phoenix, and now we’ve served over 10M fully autonomous paid trips…doubled from the end of last year! How fast do you think we’ll serve our next 10M?.
The Waymo Driver’s officially served over 10 MILLION paid rides! 🎉 Huge thanks to our riders for being an integral part of this journey, and to our teams for continuing to redefine what’s possible. ✨

Looking forward to serving more of Silicon Valley in the future where many of our friends and families call home.
We’re very excited to share that the CPUC has approved our application to operate our fully autonomous commercial ride-hailing service in the South Bay and nearly all of San Jose!. While this won’t change our operations in the near-term, we’re looking forward to bringing the.

Amazing to think that when our new plant is at full capacity it will be capable of producing tens of thousands of vehicles per year. That means rapid scaling of @Waymo One and more people experiencing fully autonomous rides sooner.
Revving up production! ⚡ Partnering with @MagnaInt, we've opened our new Waymo Driver integration plant in Mesa, AZ, to scale the future of autonomous mobility. See how we're building thousands of all-electric vehicles:
