On July 29, 2026, Waymo announced it is resuming freeway robotaxi operations in Phoenix — its first driverless ride-hailing market — after a pause of more than two months triggered by how its vehicles behaved near construction zones.
A Waymo spokesperson told TechCrunch that Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area would add freeway routes in the coming days, following software updates that enhance scene recognition and routing around freeway construction zones.
The restart comes as robotaxi operators face increased scrutiny over vehicle behavior in high-traffic situations and around emergency responders, with Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-Calif.) this week proposing a bill directing federal regulators to establish minimum national standards.
