Can you actually get a self-driving Uber in Las Vegas now?

Waymo's bringing its autonomous ride-hailing service to Las Vegas. So yeah, you'll be able to call a self-driving car to pick you up if you're in that city. It's one of the bigger rollouts of this tech in the US, so it's worth knowing if you travel there or are just curious about how autonomous vehicles are actually being used.

Looking to actually ride in one when you visit? You can grab a self-driving Uber through Waymo One in Vegas if you're in their service zones, which covers decent parts of the city but not everywhere. The app works just like regular Uber - you request a ride and get matched with an autonomous vehicle. One thing worth noting: coverage areas can shift, so check the app before your trip to see if your hotel or wherever you're heading is actually in the zone.

Waymo's autonomous rides are live in Las Vegas right now through their Waymo One service. You can actually request a self-driving car through their app if you're in the covered areas of the city, though the service zone isn't everywhere yet - it's concentrated in certain parts of Vegas. The cars handle regular traffic and intersections on their own, so it's a real working system, not a limited demo. If you're heading there, it's definitely worth trying out to see how the tech actually performs in a real city rather than reading about it.
