Waymo is the autonomous driving subsidiary of Alphabet, originally spun out of the Google Self-Driving Car Project. The company develops the Waymo Driver, a full Level 4 autonomous driving stack combining custom lidar, radar, and camera sensors with proprietary perception, prediction, and planning models. Waymo One operates a commercial robotaxi service in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, and other expanding US markets, with announced launches in Tokyo and London. The company has logged tens of millions of rider-only miles and reports significantly fewer serious-injury crashes than human-driven benchmarks. Waymo does not publish a traditional public developer API. Its primary developer-facing artifacts are the Waymo Open Dataset, the Waymo Open Motion Dataset, the Waymax JAX-based driving simulator, and a robust research publication catalogue spanning perception, behaviour prediction, planning, simulation, and end-to-end driving. Consumer access is through the Waymo One mobile app.
