(Reuters) - Alphabet's Waymo said on Tuesday its autonomous ride-hailing service, Waymo One, is now available to everyone in Los Angeles, a sign of rapid growth and adoption of the technology.
Waymo had closed a $5.6 billion funding round last month, as automakers and technology companies are betting big on the driverless technology to foster future growth, even as it faces tight regulatory scrutiny.
