Waymo launches pilot project for robotaxi rides at San Francisco Airport
Waymo has received approval to offer autonomous ride services at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The basis is an agreement between the airport and the company that provides for testing and operational phases.
Phased rollout
The process is divided into three steps: First, test rides with safety drivers will be conducted. This will be followed by driverless test rides with Waymo and airport employees as passengers. After these phases are complete, regular service for paying customers is planned.
“Approval for Waymo offers passengers a new and innovative transportation option that delivers the reliability and comfort travelers expect when arriving at and departing from SFO,”
says Airport Director Mike Nakornkhet.
Prior approval
The newly granted permission builds on a decision from March of this year. At that time, San Francisco’s mayor allowed Waymo to digitally map the airport access roads.
Existing operations in the Bay Area
Waymo is already active in San Mateo County, where the airport is located, as well as in parts of San Francisco. Until now, however, the company was not permitted to transport passengers directly to or from the airport.
Vehicle fleet and usage figures
Since launching in San Francisco in August 2023, Waymo has expanded its presence. There are now more than 800 autonomous vehicles on the road in the Bay Area. In August 2025 alone, more than 312,000 rides were completed in San Francisco. (Source: Waymo)
