Waymo, the California-based autonomous vehicle company, has brought a limited fleet of vehicles piloted by trained, human autonomous specialists to test on Las Vegas roads, company officials

Waymo is sending autonomous vehicles to 10 new cities in 2025, starting with Las Vegas and San Diego, the company shared exclusively with The Verge. The vehicles will be manually driven, and the testing operations are not necessarily a precursor to the launch of a commercial robotaxi service.

Autonomous ride-hailing services will be tested in San Diego, Las Vegas and other cities that will be announced later.

Waymo's approach involves deploying fewer than ten manually driven vehicles in each city for a couple of months.

After testing the Waymo Driver in multiple cities, the company says the tech is adapting successfully to new environments, leading to the expansion.

Waymo is planning on bringing vehicles to ten new cities in 2025, according to a report by The Verge. This new testing phase starts in Las Vegas and San Diego. These won’t be pure robotaxis, as they’ll have a manual operator.
