Waymo宣布从8月4日起向达拉斯全社会开放其自动驾驶打车服务[1]。自2月服务启动以来，该公司已从候选名单中在达拉斯服务近15万名乘客，现已向所有用户开放应用下载使用[1]。
公司同时宣布了进一步的发展计划[1]。Waymo计划在达拉斯Love Field机场进行全自动驾驶测试，并将启动高速公路自动驾驶测试作为向公众提供这些路线前的最后一步[1]。癫痫病基金会德克萨斯分会首席执行官克里斯·贾斯特尔表示："Waymo自动驾驶车辆不仅是未来——它们是癫痫社区以及任何因医疗条件而无法驾驶的人群的变革性进步"[1]。
Waymo announced that its autonomous ride-hailing service will become available to all residents of Dallas beginning August 4, 2026 [1]. The expansion marks a significant milestone for the company's operations in the region, where it has served approximately 150,000 passengers from a waitlist since launching the service in February [1]. With the new opening, all users can now download and access the application to request rides [1].
Beyond the public rollout, Waymo outlined plans to advance its autonomous capabilities further [1]. The company intends to conduct fully autonomous testing at Dallas Love Field Airport and will initiate highway autonomous driving tests as a final step before offering these routes to the general public [1]. Chris Justl, CEO of Epilepsy Foundation Texas, endorsed the expansion, stating that "Waymo autonomous vehicles are not just the future—they're a transformational step forward for the epilepsy community and anyone living with medical conditions that limit their ability to drive" [1].
