Waymo One, the driverless ride-hailing app, is now available to anyone in Los Angeles after previously only offering LA rides to those on a waiting list.What started out as a secret project at Google has become a robotaxi service available in Phoenix,

The Alphabet-owned self-driving taxi company Waymo is making its largest expansion yet. Starting this week, anyone in Los Angeles will be able to hail a robocab, including about 300,000 people who had been on the company's app waitlist.

Of course, Waymo is now in direct competition with human-powered transportation services like Uber and Lyft, both of which operate without any pesky geographic restrictions. Those services are often cheaper than Waymo’s vehicles, and customers can expect shorter wait times for rides.
