Proceed with caution
- Why
- CPUC's 18-county fared-service approval plus an existing ~3,000-vehicle fleet and 20M+ completed trips are strong maturity signals from an established operator (Waymo/Alphabet), but the recent six-week freeway suspension for a construction-zone behavior issue, the admittedly gradual non-immediate rollout in the two new counties, and stale (pre-approval) public safety data mean full 18-county coverage should not yet be treated as realized.
- Next
- Re-check readiness after San Diego and Sacramento complete their first full public rider-only rollouts and after Waymo publishes safety data covering the post-March-2026 / expansion period, including any freeway construction-zone incident resolution report.
