Waymo serves about 3,000 robotaxis across 11 U.S. cities, with another eight announced for 2026. In New York City, Waymo tested and then stopped.
Bubble size reflects an estimated fleet tier; Waymo doesn't publish per-city counts. New York permitted Waymo to test eight vehicles with safety drivers in 2024–25, but those permits expired March 31, 2026. New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey all require a human safety operator behind the wheel under current rules — effectively barring fully driverless commercial service. Boston is debating a similar local ordinance; Seattle already has one. State-law classifications follow the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Baker Donelson 50-state survey, and recent reporting; these laws change quickly.
