  "account": "Waymo has begun offering rides to and from Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport, with pickup and drop-off points set up at designated areas in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, the company announced on Wednesday. This marks Waymo's sixth major airport service, following its operations at Phoenix Sky Harbor, Nashville International, San Antonio International, San Francisco International, and San José International airports.\n\nThe company launched its public ridesharing service in Las Vegas in September, but has already established coverage over a 24-square-mile area within the city. Initially, Waymo will provide rides to only a limited number of passengers, gradually expanding access to all customers.\n\nAmazon's subsidiary, Zoox, currently provides ride-sharing services at Las Vegas airport, and additional robotaxis are anticipated to arrive soon. In August, state regulators granted permits to Tesla and Uber, allowing them to deploy thousands of their autonomous vehicles throughout the city in the coming year.",
