We love hitting milestones and this time we did it globally! We are one of the busiest airports in the world and Waymo knows it. In December, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport became the first airport in the world to offer driverless taxi service via Waymo. The autonomous vehicle connects passengers between downtown Phoenix and the airport 24 hours seven days a week.

Two months ago, passengers in the Trusted Tester program rode the fully electric Jaguar I-PACE with an autonomous specialist in the driver’s seat, making sure operations were running smoothly. After successful operations, in December, Waymo launched fully autonomous service to the airport, opening it to all travelers.

“Phoenix is leading the future of mobility and modernizing how the world will experience travel,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego after she took the first ride to the Airport. “The exciting technology offers our customers an additional option for traveling to the airport in a clean, sustainable, and technologically advanced mode of transportation. The future has arrived in Phoenix!”

Travelers can currently use the Waymo services by booking a ride in the app for pick up or drop off at the 44th Street PHX Sky Train® Station.
