Waymo's autonomous taxi service demonstrated safety improvements in early 2025, reporting 78% fewer injury crashes after 33 million miles of operation and passing emergency response testing in December 2024. However, the company faced operational challenges in March 2026, including a robotaxi blocking an ambulance responding to a mass shooting in an unspecified location and failing to stop for a school bus in Austin. Despite these incidents, Waymo proceeded with international expansion, launching robotaxi testing in Tokyo in early 2025.
