Waymo Robotaxis at the World Cup

Waymo is rolling out robotaxis for the FIFA World Cup, ready to serve six North American cities with driverless rides — a global stage to showcase its tech amid millions of visitors. Already handling half a million weekly paid rides, Waymo’s expanding into 20 new markets this year, including London and Tokyo, with apps available in 13 countries and 15 languages. For many fans, this could be their first robotaxi experience — especially outside places like China. But even with advanced AI, managing massive crowds during peak times remains a logistical nightmare, just like Uber and Lyft. Designated pickup zones, already in use around Levi’s Stadium, prove that no matter how smart the tech, the real challenge is moving people efficiently — and sometimes, that means waiting for the perfect pickup spot.
