Jul 15, 2025 9:21 AM

11:50 AM EDT, 07/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with statement from Waymo throughout.)

Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Waymo said Tuesday that its robotaxis have reached 100 million fully autonomous miles, doubling their mileage in six months while expanding to new cities like Atlanta.

"It would take the average human driver more than 7,000 years to drive that much," Waymo Chief Product Officer Saswat Panigrahi said in a statement e-mailed to MT Newswires.

Waymo said it is now driving more than 2 million fully autonomous miles per week.

"As we expand to serve more riders in more cities, we'll encounter new challenges that will continue strengthening our service," Panigrahi said.
