Waymo has begun offering autonomous robotaxi service using freeways for the first time in select cities in California and Arizona, the company announced.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said its robotaxis began using freeways in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Phoenix on Wednesday. Waymo indicated freeway access will not be available to all riders at first, and riders who want to enable freeway rides can select their preference in the Waymo app and may be matched with a freeway trip.

Waymo also announced Wednesday it has expanded service to San Jose, including to San Jose Mineta International Airport. It currently provides service at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport, and is testing out service to San Francisco International Airport through a pilot program. Waymo is not currently providing service at Los Angeles International Airport.
