Waymo Starts Robotaxi Rides to and From SFO

Waymo began fully autonomous rides at San Francisco International Airport for a select group of riders, with pickups and drop-offs at the SFO Rental Car Center and the terminals to follow.

From 29 January 2026 Waymo offered SFO rides to a select number of riders, and said it would gradually welcome all riders over the following months^[1]
Pickups and drop-offs are at the SFO Rental Car Center, a short AirTrain ride from the terminals, which Waymo plans to serve in future^[1]
SFO became Waymo's third major airport, after San José Mineta International and Phoenix Sky Harbor^[6]
The launch followed years of talks: Waymo failed to win a permit to map SFO in 2023, got a mapping permit in March 2025 and signed a testing and operations pilot permit in September^[3]
Testing ran in two phases, first autonomous with a trained specialist behind the wheel, then with Waymo employees and airport staff as passengers; pickups use the Rental Car Center's Level 1 curbside^[5]
Mayor Daniel Lurie said airport service would support "San Francisco's continued economic recovery"^[2]
The San Francisco Taxi Workers Alliance objected, pointing to Waymos that got stuck at intersections during the city's power outage the month before^[5]
