Will robotaxis finally conquer the chaotic streets of the Magic City? Waymo is kicking off 2026 by launching its autonomous ride-hailing service in Miami. According to The Verge, the company is initially opening the service to its waitlist of approximately 10,000 people, marking a significant milestone in its East Coast expansion.
Waymo Miami Expansion: Service Zones and Limitations
The service area covers a 60-square-mile territory, including hotspots like the Design District, Wynwood, Brickell, and Coral Gables. However, those looking for a driverless ride to South Beach will have to wait, as it's currently excluded from the service map.
This phased rollout mirrors Waymo’s strategy in other cities like Phoenix and San Francisco. By starting with a waitlist, they're able to manage demand and monitor system performance in real-world conditions without overwhelming the local infrastructure.
