Waymo Rolls Out Driverless Taxis in Tampa | Tampa News

Waymo just rolled out its self-driving taxi service in Tampa, covering nearly 50 square miles — and it’s already making waves. After months of mapping and testing, riders can now hail driverless cars in popular spots like Water Street and Ybor City. Andrew Kinsey’s firsthand ride in Atlanta showed the experience is surprisingly calm and routine, with the car handling everything from traffic to turns without a human behind the wheel. While trusting a machine to drive requires some faith, Waymo touts a safety record that beats human drivers in serious incidents. Tampa becomes the 14th city to offer this tech — a bold step toward a future where autonomous vehicles reshape how we get around.
