Robotaxis in San Francisco

San Francisco has driverless from Waymo, Zoox, and Tesla. Their guide first. We do not book.

Cybercab, Tesla's two-seat purpose-built cab, hails in limited parts of Austin through the Tesla Robotaxi app. Other unsupervised markets still use ordinary-looking Teslas. Confirm the vehicle and outline in the app.

Waymo is citywide, Zoox rides free while permits are pending, and Tesla still keeps a safety driver here.

Waymo · Zoox (free) · Tesla w/ driver

NOT the terminal curb.

Checked 2026-09-09. A ride is about 30 minutes, not a car for the day. One or two hops inside the geofence often beat a desk day rate once parking and charging count. Stack four and the rental wins. Fare shapes, not a quote. Waymo ~$1.40-2.50/mi, typical ride ~$20, per mid-2026 magnitude. None of these are ours to promise.

A rental wins Napa and Sonoma days, Monterey, and anything toward Tahoe.

Pets · Service animals ride. Pets do not.

NOT the terminal curb. Take the AirTrain to the Rental Car Center (about 15 minutes) or the Grand Hyatt (about 10) and meet the Waymo there. Access is still limited to some riders.

Statuses checked 2026-09-09 against the operators' own city lists. 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.
