Waymo opened its robotaxi service to everyone in San Antonio, San Diego and Tampa, removing waitlists, TechCrunch reported. The change broadens access to its service in all three cities.

The company also received approval to participate in an automated vehicle pilot program in Toronto as it expands into Canada. The Toronto authorization covers participation in a pilot program; the unrestricted customer access described in the report applies to the three U.S. cities.
