Waymo获准在加州多县扩展无人驾驶出租车服务 首次覆盖萨克拉门托与圣地亚哥

近日,谷歌旗下自动驾驶公司Waymo宣布,已获得加州公用事业委员会(CPUC)的正式批准,将进一步扩大其在加州各地的无人驾驶出租车运营范围。根据该决定,Waymo将首次在萨克拉门托和圣地亚哥两市提供载客服务,同时大幅扩展其在旧金山湾区和洛杉矶地区的运营版图。

这一批准源于Waymo于今年1月提交的扩展申请,旨在为其2025年11月宣布的新服务区域获取安全计划许可。据科技媒体Electrek报道,审批过程并非一帆风顺,CPUC曾一度暂停受理该申请,但Waymo在8月14日的官方推文中表示相关障碍已解决,并宣布“已获得CPUC批准,将无人驾驶网约车服务扩展至旧金山湾区和洛杉矶,并首次进入萨克拉门托与圣地亚哥”。

目前,Engadget已联系CPUC核实具体条款,尚未得到回复。据披露,该许可将允许Waymo在加州南北共18个县运营,包括阿拉米达、康特拉科斯塔、马林、纳帕、萨克拉门托、旧金山、圣马特奥、圣克拉拉、圣克鲁斯、索拉诺、索诺玛、约洛,以及南加的洛杉矶、橙县、河滨、圣贝纳迪诺、圣地亚哥和文图拉县。

不过,Waymo并不会立即在所有获批区域全面铺开。公司强调,扩展将采取“渐进式”推进,并严格遵循其安全框架。此外,Waymo此前于2025年11月宣布进军圣地亚哥,2026年2月宣布落地萨克拉门托,今年7月还透露将很快在圣地亚哥、丹佛、坦帕和拉斯维加斯开展无安全员的纯无人驾驶测试。根据其提交的原始文件,加州的运营将使用现有捷豹I-Pace车型以及由中国吉利旗下极氪定制生产的全新“Ojai”无人驾驶面包车。

Waymo获准在萨克拉门托和圣迭戈提供乘车服务

该公司还将获准在旧金山湾区和洛杉矶更多区域扩大车队规模。

Waymo宣布,已获得加州公用事业委员会(CPUC)的批准,可在加州更多县扩大其机器人出租车服务。该公司表示,这一决定将使其首次能够在萨克拉门托和圣迭戈提供乘车服务,并扩大旧金山湾区和洛杉矶的服务范围。

据Electrek发现,CPUC的批准似乎是回应Waymo于1月提交的一封信函,该信函请求批准一项安全计划,以便其在2025年11月公布的服务扩展区域内提供乘车服务。根据CPUC的页面信息,Waymo收到了反馈,其申请甚至一度被暂停,但该公司的公告表明,这些问题此后已得到解决,只是尚未公开记录在案。

“对加州来说是个大消息——我们已获得CPUC的批准,将把自动驾驶网约车服务扩展到旧金山湾区和洛杉矶全境,并把服务带到萨克拉门托和圣迭戈。扩展将是循序渐进的,并以我们的安全框架为指导。我们期待着……”

Engadget已联系CPUC确认其关于Waymo决定的具体细节。如果收到回复,我们将更新本文。

该批准将允许Waymo在加州北部和南部的18个县提供乘车服务,包括:阿拉米达、康特拉科斯塔、马林、纳帕、萨克拉门托、旧金山、圣马特奥、圣克拉拉、圣克鲁斯、索拉诺、索诺马、约洛、洛杉矶、橙县、里弗赛德、圣贝纳迪诺、圣迭戈和文图拉。不过,该公司很可能不会立即在所有县都投入机器人出租车运营。Waymo的公告特别指出,“扩展将是循序渐进的,并以(其)安全框架为指导。”

Waymo于2025年11月宣布计划扩展到圣迭戈,并于2026年2月宣布计划扩展到萨克拉门托。今年7月,该公司表示将很快在圣迭戈、丹佛、坦帕和拉斯维加斯测试无安全驾驶员的全自动驾驶乘车服务。根据Waymo最初提交的信函,CPUC的批准应允许该公司使用其现有的捷豹I-Pace车辆以及新款Ojai机器人出租车(由中国汽车制造商极氪打造的定制小型货车)在加州提供乘车服务。

Waymo receives permission to offer rides in Sacramento and San Diego
The company will also be able to expand its fleet across more of the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
Waymo has announced that it's received permission from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to expand its robotaxi service across more counties in California. The company says the decision will allow it to offer rides in Sacramento and San Diego for the first time, and expand service in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
As spotted by Electrek, the CPUC's approval appears to be in response to a letter Waymo filed in January asking for approval on a safety plan so it can offer rides in the expanded service area it announced in November 2025. Waymo received feedback and even at one point had its request suspended, according to the CPUC's page, but the company's announcement suggests those issues have since been resolved and just haven't been publicly recorded yet.
Big news for the Golden State — we have received the CPUC's approval to expand our autonomous ride-hailing service across the SF Bay Area and LA, and bring our service to Sacramento and San Diego.
Expansion will be gradual and guided by our safety framework. We look forward to...

Engadget has contacted the CPUC to confirm the details of its Waymo decision. We'll update this article if we hear back.
The approval should allow Waymo to offer rides in 18 counties across northern and southern California: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, Yolo, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura. The company likely won't have robotaxis in all of them immediately, though. Waymo's announcement specifically notes that "expansion will be gradual and guided by [its] safety framework."
Waymo announced its intention to expand into San Diego in November 2025 and Sacramento in February 2026. In July, the company shared that it would soon test fully autonomous rides without a safety driver in San Diego, Denver, Tampa and Las Vegas. Based on the original letter Waymo filed, CPUC's permission should allow the company to offer rides in California in its existing Jaguar I-Pace vehicles and its new Ojai robotaxis, custom minivans built by Chinese car maker Zeekr.
