Waymo opens Dallas robotaxi service to all riders

Waitlist dropped in Dallas

Waymo removed the waitlist for its robotaxi service in Dallas on August 4, 2026, opening the autonomous ride-hailing offering to every resident and visitor in the city. The move lets any rider in the service area summon a driverless vehicle through the Waymo app without first joining a restricted access list.

Position in the broader rollout

The Dallas expansion is framed by Waymo as part of a wider push to scale its self-driving technology across additional U.S. cities as well as in the United Kingdom and Europe. Dallas joins the set of U.S. markets where Waymo operates a fully public robotaxi service, marking another step in the Alphabet-owned company's commercial deployment of autonomous vehicles.

Operational context

Waymo runs its robotaxi operations using its autonomous driving system integrated into a fleet of vehicles that passengers can hail through the company's app. Opening the service to everyone in Dallas removes the previous onboarding requirement and increases the addressable rider base in that market, though Waymo has not disclosed local fleet size, service area boundaries, or pricing details in connection with the change.
