Waymo opened public robotaxi service in Nashville on April 7, covering a 60-square-mile area including Downtown, Broadway, Music Row, and East Nashville, making it the company's 11th US city. Rides are available via the Waymo app, with Lyft app integration planned for later in 2026 and Lyft's Flexdrive serving as fleet management partner. Waymo cited data from over 170 million miles showing a 13-fold reduction in serious injury crashes compared to human drivers. The Nashville expansion follows recent openings in other markets as Waymo and Lyft deepen their partnership.
