Waymos will be able to take passengers to Playa del Rey, Ladera Heights, Echo Park, Silver Lake and the full stretch of Sunset Boulevard.

Waymo will expand into more areas of the San Francisco peninsula and parts of Silicon Valley, as the sole commercial robotaxi operator in the U.S. seeks to scale up operations, the Alphabet unit said on Tuesday.

Waymo has expanded its service area in two populous parts of California. The company's robotaxis have begun operating in new neighborhoods throughout San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Waymo is heading to New York City next month, intending to deploy autonomous vehicles in the country’s most densely packed and unpredictable urban environment.

Google-owned Waymo on Wednesday said it has applied for a permit to start testing its self-driving cars in New York City, a first for the Big Apple.

Waymo is bringing autonomous cars back to New York City for tests, with the hopes of eventually offering a paid ride-hailing service.
