Robotaxi Tracker: Where You Can Actually Ride a Driverless Taxi in November 2026

Robotaxis have stopped being a novelty in parts of the United States. In some American cities you can now open an app, get into a car with nobody in the driver’s seat, and pay for the trip like any other taxi. In others, the car still has a human behind the wheel, or the service is for invited riders only. And in London, despite the headlines, there is not yet a single robotaxi you can ride without a driver on board.

Waymo is the clear leader. Owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, it is the only operator running a large, fully driverless public service in the West, operating in 15 US metro areas — including Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, Miami, and Las Vegas — and carrying more than 500,000 paid rides a week. October was busy: on October 14 Waymo opened its service to anyone in San Antonio, San Diego, and Tampa, including rides to San Antonio’s airport, and on October 27 it said it was adding nearly 250 square miles of coverage within a week across Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area. In most cities you book through the Waymo app; in Austin and Atlanta, Waymo rides come through Uber instead — an arrangement that ends in January 2028.

Tesla is the challenger. Its steering-wheel-free Cybercab joined the public fleet in Austin on September 4, and Tesla says it will reach Dallas this month. Waymo logged 3.9 million miles a week with no one at the wheel in the second quarter, while Tesla’s driverless fleet covered 558,000 miles in its latest reported week — a roughly seven-to-one gap. Baidu and Zoox operate in their own markets, and Britain’s first robotaxi rides began in London on September 3, when Wayve and Uber launched supervised trips in electric Ford Mustang Mach-Es — supervised being the key word, since a safety driver is still on board.

The map keeps moving. Waymo is mapping Toronto for first riders in 2028 and has said it will start testing in Madrid, while London’s regulator has confirmed no vehicle has yet been listed under the Automated Vehicles Act and no application has reached it for consent. The honest summary for November 2026: if you want a driverless ride, book a Waymo in one of its 15 US metros; if you are in London, you are still waiting.
