Waymo has nearly 1,000 robotaxis waiting at its Arizona factory

Reported byElectrek ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Waymo has 684 finished, fully retrofitted Ojai robotaxis ready for deployment at its Mesa, Arizona factory, with 953 units total on the lot (72% converted). The company is already operating 500,000 paid driverless rides per week and targeting one million weekly rides by year-end, representing a major scaling of zero-emission autonomous vehicles.

Worth noting

The count is derived from monthly aerial observation by a subreddit user, not official Waymo data; however, the methodology has been consistent over time.
