Robotaxis in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has driverless from Waymo. Their guide first. We do not book.
Waymo runs a large geofence through its own app. Zoox lists Los Angeles as arriving, not live. No Tesla service.
Waymo
Waymo's airport page lists no Los Angeles airport.
Who hails: checked yesterday. How-to details checked 8 days ago, may be out of date. A ride is about 30 minutes, not a car for the day. A few hops inside the geofence can beat a rental day once parking and charging count. Many hops and the rental wins. Each app shows its price before you confirm. Waymo: Price shown in app. None of these are ours to promise.
A rental wins Big Bear, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and any multi-stop errand day across the sprawl.

The airport leg
Where the geofence ends
Big for one city and still nowhere near the region: the mountains, the desert and most of Orange County sit outside, and LA distances make per-ride fares stack fast.
What a ride costs
How-to details checked 8 days ago, may be out of date. Waymo: Price shown in app. The app quote wins.
Where a rental still wins
Big Bear, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and any multi-stop errand day across the sprawl.
Who hails was checked Oct 29 against the operators' own city lists; how-to details on Oct 22. Robotaxi facts age faster than the rest of the site: geofences grow, airports change their rules, and a free pilot starts charging. The operator app is ground truth · treat this page as the map, not the territory.
