Waymo starts offering rides at the Las Vegas airport

Waymo is now shuttling customers to and from the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, with pickups and dropoffs happening at dedicated “autonomous vehicle zones” at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, the company announced Wednesday.

This is the sixth major airport that Waymo is serving. The company already offers rides at Phoenix Sky Harbor, Nashville International, San Antonio International, San Francisco International, and San José International airports.

Waymo only just started offering rides to the public in Las Vegas in September, but is already serving a 24-square-mile area in the city. The company said the rides to and from the Las Vegas airport will be limited at first to just a few riders, before opening up to all customers.

Amazon-owned Zoox already offers rides at the Vegas airport, and more robotaxis are coming to Sin City. In August, state regulators approved permits that will allow Tesla and Uber to put thousands of them on the city’s streets in the next year.
