"As fans and media prepare to descend on the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX, what does a high-tech city like San Francisco do? Why, call in the robotaxis, of course. On Thursday, Alphabet's Waymo began offering fully autonomous rides at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). There are some limits. For now, SFO access is restricted to "a select number of riders.""
"However, access will gradually expand over the coming months. The service is also limited to the SFO Rental Car Center (pickups and drop-offs) at launch. Waymo says it will expand to other airport locations, including terminals, "in the future." The San Francisco Standard notes that SFO is now the third airport in Waymo's repertoire. The San Francisco launch follows the company's service at Phoenix Sky Harbor and San Jose Mineta."

SFO is Waymo's third airport after Phoenix Sky Harbor and San Jose Mineta. Waymo now serves more than 260 square miles in the Bay Area. Separately, a Waymo robotaxi struck a child in Santa Monica on January 23, causing minor injuries and prompting an NHTSA investigation.
