Waymo has named the fourth U.S. city for its growing robotaxi service.

Waymo expands its autonomous ride-hailing service to Austin, Texas, competing with Cruise. It aims to offer full autonomy and public rides soon, benefiting accessibility and local sustainability efforts.

Waymo has announced that it has finished its testing phase and will open up self-driving rides to the public in Austin, Texas this fall.

Waymo announced today that it would shortly begin service in Austin, TX.

Waymo, which returned to Central Texas to test its self-driving technology earlier this year, now plans to make Austin its fourth city for ridehail services.

After announcing its autonomous vehicle prototype testing in Austin back in April, Waymo is slated to begin initial commercial ride-hail operations in the Texas capital this fall before a more public rollout later on.

Waymo say testers will be taking rides "this fall."
