06:13 AM EDT, 05/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) self-driving unit Waymo said in an X post on Monday that it has received approval from California to expand its fully autonomous commercial ride-hailing service in additional areas of the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula, including San Jose.

The California Public Utilities Commission said Monday that Waymo got 23 responses in support of its request to expand operations and no protests from stakeholders.

However, Waymo reportedly said it will not immediately expand services in the San Francisco Bay Area, according to Reuters.
