Waymo is nearly doubling its San Diego service area, expanding coverage to about 90 square miles and adding La Jolla, Clairemont, University City and Mission Bay. The enlarged area includes UC San Diego, the VA medical center and University Town Center, alongside neighborhoods already served across the city. Anyone can request a ride through the Waymo app within the service area, though the robot taxis do not travel on highways or to the airport.
