Waymo goes fully driverless in Las Vegas, with three more cities queued

Waymo flipped Las Vegas to fully driverless — no human at the wheel — with Denver, San Diego, and Tampa next, backed by a 3,500-robotaxi fleet and a $16B round at a $126B valuation. The gap with Tesla is now concrete: Waymo is adding whole cities near-monthly toward 1 million weekly rides, while Tesla's robotaxi fleet sits at roughly 20 cars pending FSD v15. The open question is economics — running driverless across 14-plus markets on new Ojai hardware makes 1 million weekly rides by year-end a hard number to hit.
