Waymo announced it is now shuttling customers to and from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. This marks its sixth major airport service, following Phoenix Sky Harbor, Nashville International, San Antonio International, San Francisco International, and San Jose International. Pickups and drop-offs occur at dedicated autonomous vehicle zones at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. The service will initially be limited to a few riders before opening to all customers. Waymo began public rides in Las Vegas in September and currently serves a 24-square-mile area.
Amazon-owned Zoox already offers rides at the airport. State regulators approved permits in August allowing Tesla and Uber to deploy thousands of robotaxis in the city within the next year. The expansion highlights the growing competition in the autonomous vehicle market in Las Vegas.
