Driverless ride-hailing increased significantly in San Francisco last year

By Zachary Visconti, Posted on January 13, 2024

Driverless ride-hailing is rapidly increasing in San Francisco, California, and recent data shows that it has continued to grow even after an incident involving a passenger with General Motors (GM) subsidiary Cruise.

Cruise and Alphabet-owned Waymo were the only two companies approved to test driverless ride-hailing operations in the city throughout much of last year. In a recent report, the San Francisco Chronicle compiled quarterly data from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), showing that Waymo nearly reached one million driverless miles driven between September and November—while Cruise lost its permit to operate driverless tests following an accident in October.

During the first quarter of 2023, however, only 26,000 driverless miles were driven by the companies combined, illustrating how rapidly the services grew in the city throughout last year.
