Waymo opened to public riders by rolling invitation on September 14, 2026, after employee rider-only trips announced July 8. On August 20, 2026 the Nevada Transportation Authority approved commercial robotaxi permits for Tesla (up to 5,000 vehicles across Clark County), Waymo, and Uber. As of October 10, 2026 DockDuty has not confirmed that public Tesla rides have begun there; Tesla’s robotaxi page still listed only Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa on October 6 (tesla.com, archived). |

| Washington, DC | Waymo · Zoox (testing, operator behind the wheel) | Testing only: DDOT requires an operator behind the wheel for every test mile. Council bill B26-0684 (hearing July 13, 2026; no vote as of September 1) as introduced allows no on-demand robotaxi network before January 1, 2028. Waymo has leased three DC charging and maintenance sites. Full guide: Robotaxi in Washington, DC. |
| Detroit, MI | Waymo (announced) | Announced November 3, 2025; no launch date published. Michigan has permitted driverless operation since 2016. Full guide: Cybercab ownership from Detroit. |
Scale context, as reported: Waymo says it launched its fifteenth US city in September (Waymo, October 8, 2026) and runs roughly 4,000 robotaxis at ~500,000 paid rides per week (TechCrunch, September 24, 2026); Tesla reached seven metros (six unsupervised) in about thirteen months. Zones inside every metro are geofenced and grow in steps; dates reflect public reporting compiled in our sourced city tracker, which this map mirrors. Every one of these fleets runs out of a facility somebody staffs: who runs the depots behind these fleets is its own page.
Is there a robotaxi in my town?
Robotaxi service is sold by metro, not by town. Each block below is one metro: which operators are live there, which are only announced, the metro guide, and the well-known municipalities that sit inside that metro area. Being in the metro area does not mean an operator picks up in your town: every zone is geofenced and grows in steps, and the operator notes say what is actually running. If your town is in none of the blocks (Newark, Hoboken and Paterson in New Jersey, Norfolk, Everett and Cudahy among the ones people ask us about), no operator offers driverless rides to the public there as of October 10, 2026. New York and New Jersey readers: the New York page has the legal picture.

How many US cities have driverless robotaxis in 2026?
Fifteen metros have live service as of October 10, 2026: Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Nashville, Denver, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. Waymo serves all fifteen, still by invitation only in Denver, San Diego and Tampa (public riders since September 1, 2026), Las Vegas (since September 14, 2026) and San Antonio, where service restarted September 17, 2026 after a flood pause, for riders who already had access. Washington DC (testing only, Council bill pending) and Detroit are announced.
Which companies operate robotaxis in the US?
Three charge fares: Waymo (the incumbent at scale: fifteen US cities, roughly 4,000 robotaxis and ~500,000 paid rides a week, per Waymo on October 8 and TechCrunch on September 24, 2026), Tesla (seven metros in thirteen months; the only operator with a stated plan to let individually owned cars earn on its network), and Zoox (purpose-built pods; first paid market opened in Las Vegas on August 10, 2026).
Which cities get robotaxis next?
Announced: Washington DC (Waymo and Zoox test there with an operator behind the wheel; the Council bill as introduced allows no on-demand robotaxi network before January 1, 2028) and Detroit (Waymo, no date published), plus Zoox paid service in Miami and Austin and Zoox safety-driver testing in San Diego from late September 2026. The pattern behind the map: permissive state AV law, mild weather, airport corridors, dense point-to-point demand (which is why Tesla lit up three Florida metros in a single month) Miami July 3, Tampa and Orlando July 21 (Waymo had Miami and Orlando running earlier). The statute comes first every time, which is why we keep the law map underneath this one.
Is there a Cybercab near me?
As of September 2, 2026 every Cybercab registered to a passenger fleet is in Texas (45 of them, registered August 31), so outside Texas the answer is not yet. The Tesla robotaxis running in Miami, Orlando and Tampa are Model Ys, not Cybercabs. None is on DockDuty’s network either: Orlando is our lead market, with a depot targeted for Q4 2026, and the order book is open.
Sources, by operator
The metro table mirrors the sourced city tracker, which carries the per-claim citations. The primary sources the tracker links, grouped by operator:
Waymo
- Waymo updates (Houston open to everyone with the app, August 2026; San Diego, Denver and Tampa public riders, September 1, 2026; Las Vegas public riders, September 14, 2026; Detroit listed under “Up Next”, read October 1, 2026)
- TechCrunch: Waymo opens up robotaxi service in Dallas to everyone (August 4, 2026)
Tesla
- Not a Tesla App: Tesla expands Robotaxi hours (August 26, 2026)
- TechCrunch: Tesla, Uber and Waymo all get the OK to operate thousands of robotaxis in Nevada (August 20, 2026)
Zoox
- TechCrunch: Zoox to start charging for robotaxi rides in Las Vegas (August 5, 2026)
Change log
- Re-checked against the city tracker as of October 10, 2026. San Antonio: Waymo service paused after an April flood incident and restarted September 17, 2026 for riders who already had access (Axios; TechCrunch, September 17, 2026). Las Vegas: public Tesla rides still not confirmed as of October 10, and the earlier “expected within about 30 days” line is removed. San Diego: Waymo’s zone given as about 40 to 50 square miles as reported, with no airport trips and no freeways at launch. Tampa and Orlando: Tesla’s zones given as of late September (23.6 and 26.2 square miles, Not a Tesla App, September 29, 2026). Denver: the table row now matches the metro block. Scale note and FAQ: Waymo in fifteen US cities with roughly 4,000 robotaxis (Waymo, October 8; TechCrunch, September 24, 2026). Live and announced metro counts unchanged.
- Miami: Waymo’s area is now given as about 150 square miles including Miami Beach and Bal Harbour (NBC 6, May 13, 2026), with freeway rides paused in May and their return in Miami not confirmed; Tesla’s zone is given as 30.8 square miles in late September (Not a Tesla App, September 29, 2026). No other metro changed.
- Las Vegas: Waymo marked live, with public riders by rolling invitation since September 14, 2026; the Tesla note now says no public rides are confirmed as of October 1. Detroit: Waymo has announced the market but has not published a launch date, so the earlier target date is removed. Denver: zone size given as about 50 square miles at launch and about 60 per KUNC (September 25). Live and announced metro counts unchanged.
- The counts at the top of the page corrected to 15 live and 2 announced metros, matching the map and the dataset; they had still read 13 and 4. No metro or operator data changed.
- Sources and this change log added; owner-page links on the Miami, Tampa and Orlando blocks; the visible “updated” date aligned to the dataset date. No metro or operator data changed.
- Per-metro blocks with municipality lists and permalinks; the “Is there a Cybercab near me?” answer (Texas fleet registrations as of September 2, 2026).
- Waymo public riders in Denver, San Diego and Tampa by rolling invitation; San Diego and Washington, DC added. Current dataset date.
- Detroit added as an announced market; fact audit corrections across the metro rows.
- Permalinks per metro, embed code, and the CSV and JSON downloads as static files.
- Thirteen live metros, corrected against waymo.com.
Why a depot company keeps this map. Riders see cities lighting up; we see markets that will need ground infrastructure. Every metro above runs on company-owned fleets today, but Tesla’s stated endgame adds individually owned cars to the network, and each one will need what any fleet needs: parking, charging, cleaning, dispatch. That layer is what DockDuty builds. Orlando (one of the newest markets on this map) is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026, and the founding order book is public.
