As a huge advocate for autonomous driving tech, I was hugely excited to hear that Waymo was due to start offering its service in London. But I couldn’t wait that long. So, while in Los Angeles this month, I took the opportunity to try out the service.
Waymo has been running in LA since November 2024 and covers 80 square miles from Santa Monica to downtown. In November 2025, it extended its routes to include freeways, providing even faster trips across cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix. Today, there’s a fleet of 2,500 vehicles across the US, all bookable through the Waymo One app.
