Noticed an empty front seat navigating Motor City? Detroit, fully autonomous driving is underway!

Waymo Autonomous Vehicles Product October 6, 2026

You’ll soon start seeing our vehicles on the road without a human driver. As we validate our autonomous technology across this historic automotive and transit hub, we’re one step closer to welcoming our first local riders to the area.

Download the Waymo app today to be one of the first in line when we launch.

Why this matters for talent

Fully autonomous driving now live in Detroit is a genuine geographic expansion milestone for Waymo's robotaxi service. The jobs board lists 363 openings at Waymo, and each new metro launch historically brings local operations, fleet response, and community relations hiring. Candidates in the Detroit area with AV operations interest should watch for roles tied to this expansion.
