By Elias Schisgall 




  Waymo launched its robotaxis in Miami on Thursday, the latest expansion as it looks to scale its autonomous ride-hailing service across the U.S. 



  The company, owned by Google parent Alphabet, said in a blog post that 10,000 Miami residents had already signed up, adding that it would invite new riders on a rolling basis. 



  Waymo said rides would be available in a 60-square-mile service area that spans from the Design District to South Miami. It said service to Miami International Airport would soon be available. 



  "Miami is a city defined by its energy, myriad of global cultures, and its forward-looking spirit, and Waymo is proud to add to that momentum," Waymo Co-Chief Executive Tekedra Mawakana said. "We're excited to offer its residents and visitors a safe, reliable, and magical way to move around and look forward to earning their trust with every ride." 



  Waymo vehicles are already available in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco. The company has plans to launch its service in Minneapolis, New Orleans, and Tampa, Fla., and is testing its autonomous vehicles in several other cities including New York City.
