San Franciscans no longer have to stand by on a waitlist to download Waymo’s app
Waymo , the most prolific self-driving car company in The City, announced on Tuesday that San Francisco users no longer have to put their name on a waitlist to use its app.
The only other city in the nation where Waymo doesn’t have a waitlist is Phoenix, which has not had one since 2020. The company also operates in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.

Though Waymo has avoided some of the public blunders made by rival autonomous vehicle company Cruise — which had its permits to operate in The City revoked after one of its vehicles hit and dragged a pedestrian roughly 20 feet at 5th and Market streets in October — the company still has still received plenty of scrutiny.
