Waymo无人驾驶出租车10月14日起向Tampa所有公众开放 不再需要等候名单邀请
位于佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的Tampa市，据Waymo公司公告与科技媒体10月16日报道，Waymo的无人驾驶出租车服务自10月14日起向Tampa所有公众开放，此前乘客需要下载应用并等候邀请才能乘车，如今不再有等候名单，任何人都可在服务区域内用应用叫车。
Waymo表示，自今年早些时候在Tampa、San Diego与San Antonio陆续开通以来，三座城市已累计服务“数十万名乘客”，行程目的地包括海滩、冰球比赛场馆、河滨步道与 杂货店等日常场所。此次三城同步全面开放，San Antonio还新增了国际机场的接送服务。
Tampa盲人与低视力人士组织Lighthouse for the Blind & Low Vision的董事主席斯科特·杨表示，对视障人士而言，这项服务让他们重新获得出行的独立性。同时也有残障团体表示，Waymo尚未回应他们提出的最大关切问题。
Waymo Opens Driverless Rides to Everyone in Tampa Starting October 14
Tampa is a city in Hillsborough County, Florida. Waymo's fully driverless ride service opened to everyone in Tampa on October 14, the company announced, dropping the waitlist and invitation system that previously stood between riders and a ride. Anyone with the app can now hail a driverless car within the service area.
Waymo says it has carried hundreds of thousands of riders across Tampa, San Diego and San Antonio since each city opened earlier in 2026, with trips to beaches, a hockey game, the River Walk and grocery stores. All three cities opened to the general public on October 14, and San Antonio also gained pickups and drop-offs at its international airport.
Scott Young, board chair of Lighthouse for the Blind & Low Vision in Tampa, said the change gives riders with vision loss their independence back, while a disability group said Waymo still has not answered its biggest question about the service.
