"Waymo's Robotaxis Cleared for Expansion to Los Angeles and San Francisco"

Waymo has been given approval to expand its driverless taxi service into Los Angeles and San Mateo counties by the California Public Utility Commission, despite objections from some local lawmakers. The company plans to take a careful and incremental approach to the expansion, working closely with city officials and local communities to ensure safety and value for riders. However, concerns about safety and lack of communication with local stakeholders have been raised by some lawmakers, who view the decision to expand as irresponsible and dangerous.
