About this app

Get there with the Waymo Driver — The World’s Most Experienced Driver™

The Waymo app is making it safer, more accessible, and more sustainable to get around — without the need for anyone in the driver’s seat.

Today, anyone can take an autonomous ride with Waymo in San Francisco, Metro Phoenix and Los Angeles.

Built with you in mind:
• Get around safely: The Waymo Driver has driven more than a hundred million miles on the road and billions of miles in simulated scenarios. The data to date indicates the Waymo Driver is already reducing traffic injuries and fatalities in the places we currently operate.
• Stay empowered with our interactive in-car screens: The Waymo Driver knows your local roads and shows you what it’s seeing along the way—every car, pedestrian, cyclist, and more. You’ll see its planned route and stay informed every step of the way. Call Rider Support at any time if you need to talk to a helpful human or pull over if you need to end your ride early.
• Enjoy your journey: A Waymo car has all the freedom of having your own vehicle without the stresses of driving or maintaining it. Pick the perfect temperature, play your favorite music, catch up with a friend, or simply take a nap. You’ll look forward to every ride.

How the Waymo Driver works:
• The World’s Most Experienced Driver™: Our vehicles are operated by the Waymo Driver, a technology that’s designed to prioritize safety and take the stress out of people’s everyday drives.
• Multilayered suite of sensors: Our cameras, lidar, and radar work together so the Waymo Driver can see up to three football fields away in all directions, day and night. Safety is our top priority, so the Waymo Driver is trained and tested to carefully navigate in all driving situations and get you to your destination, stress free.

We took 2 rides whilst on holiday in San Francisco (around 20 minutes each) from Fisherman's Wharf to Golden Gate. Both were enjoyable. I was impressed how the car had to deal with poorly organised construction at its first crossroads, when the construction crew were reversing a cement truck. I felt safe at all times. The App is super easy to use and even helps you find your pick-up point, which was useful for us, being unfamiliar with the area. I wish more cities including the UK had them.

It was ok. At first it was good, pickup went well and getting into the car was easy. A little while into the drive the car started to malfunction and kept pulling over. We called ride support and got put on the phone with two people at the same time. We finally got someone to help us, but were in a bit of a rush and so we just got out, though eventually they did get it working. Overall I would say do this more for the cool experience, but know that it is technology and sometimes it won't work.

Fun novelty if you don't have to rely on it, but it takes about 2x as long as a human would to navigate traffic. Got stuck and doubled the ride time and couldn't get a hold of support to get unstuck. I finally yelled at the pedestrian who wasn't in the way of traffic but who the car wouldn't go past. Probably fine away from busy streets or rush hour, but don't rely on this to commute, especially if you have any time pressure at all, even if you think you've left lots of time
