Starting today, residents of Dallas can download the Waymo app and request a fully autonomous ride. Since launching in February, the service has welcomed around 150,000 riders from a waiting list to experience the safety, reliability, and magic of Waymo. Now, anyone can utilize the service.

Since launching, Waymo has assisted Dallasites with errands, commuting, and social outings. The next step is to offer the service to tourists and visitors. Waymo is continuing autonomous testing at Dallas Love Field Airport terminals and plans to expand to testing on Dallas freeways. These final steps will enable public riders to use these routes.

The Dallas community has welcomed Waymo as a vital resource for accessible and reliable transportation. Chris Justl, CEO of Epilepsy Foundation Texas, praised Waymo as a transformational step forward for the epilepsy community and others with medical conditions that limit driving ability, creating a new pathway to safe, independent travel. The company is proud to partner with Waymo to bring this future to life across Texas.
