Waymo Launches Teen Autonomous Ride Service in Nashville

Waymo has opened its teen autonomous ride service to Nashville residents, allowing 13‑ to 17‑year‑olds to hail fully autonomous vehicles across a 50‑square‑mile area when linked to a parent or guardian’s account. The move follows a successful launch in Phoenix and marks the company’s second major expansion of its teen program. Parents can now link their accounts to grant teens the ability to request rides through the Waymo app, providing a new level of independence while maintaining safety oversight. The service covers a broad portion of the city, giving teens a convenient, driverless alternative to traditional transportation options and expanding Waymo’s reach into younger demographics.
