Robotaxis exist to remove the cost and limitations of human drivers, but every attempt to scale them runs into physical, regulatory, and computational constraints. Recent expansion plans from Tesla, Waymo, and Zoox expose how autonomous ride services are shaped less by ambition and more by safety validation, infrastructure limits, and system reliability under real world conditions.
Waymo is set to expand its fully driverless robotaxi services to San Diego, Las Vegas, and Detroit next year. The company is accelerating its autonomous rollout, but regulatory approvals and public sentiment will shape how fast these services actually hit the streets.
