Is Waymo’s growth in California flattening? 🤔 The data sure looks like it.. In our latest piece on @driverlessguy_, we examine Waymo’s growth trend in California based on the recently released trip data from the CPUC, and a couple of things stood out: 📉 California weekly ride growth slowed sharply between January and March 2026, with weekly ride additions falling from +14.8k to just +2.7k rides/week 📊 That represents an 82% deceleration in the pace of growth from January to March. 🌎 Meanwhile, growth outside California appears to be accelerating, with non-California weekly ride additions jumping from -448 in January to +11.6k rides/week in March 🚕 Waymo now operates across 11 US cities with roughly 3,000 robotaxis and more than 500,000 paid rides per week ⚖️ The slowdown could point to several factors: fleet constraints, expansion trade-offs, a strategic shift toward newer cities, or challenges moving beyond the early adopter phase 📍 California may still be growing, but the data suggests it’s entering a more mature phase where gains come more incrementally than explosively Check out the full story here 👉 thedriverlessdigest.com/p/is…

1/ A decade ago, we started a scrappy startup in my dorm room in Waterloo We were so low on cash that we had to ask PG to help us pay for our 1st month’s rent during YC. 3 months later, we were in Bloomberg Now I’m back in @ycombinator a 2nd time with @AtlasGridAI (F25)
