Sept 24 (Reuters) - Alphabet-owned Waymo on

Wednesday rolled out "Waymo for Business," a corporate program

that lets companies set up accounts so employees can hail its

robotaxis in Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Austin and

Atlanta.

The move targets recurring corporate travel, giving

employers controls over where, when and how staff use autonomous

rides, as Waymo broadens commercial uses for its driverless

fleet.

Waymo said it completes more than 1 million rides a month

and that nearly one in six local riders in San Francisco, Los

Angeles and Phoenix uses the service to commute.

The company has ramped up service in recent months,

expanding paid, driverless rides to Atlanta and expanding

coverage in Austin.

An admin portal lets organizations manage users, create

promo codes and pull reports to track ride activity and budgets,

Waymo said.

Early customers include Phoenix-based online used-car seller

Carvana ( CVNA ).

The Mountain View, California-based company said the

business product is in its early stages and will gain more

features over time to support organizations of different sizes.

Waymo has been focusing on airport access to woo

frequent business travelers. The company already serves Phoenix

Sky Harbor and this month won approval to operate at San José

Mineta International Airport. San Francisco International

Airport has granted a testing permit ahead of potential

commercial service, Waymo said.
