Google’s autonomous car division Waymo has announced that its driverless taxi service will be rolling out across two more US cities.

The robotaxis will be introduced to Denver and Seattle this week, the company said, while permits have also been secured for New York.

Waymo already operates across five US cities – Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco – completing around 250,000 paid trips each week.

The latest launch is part of an aggressive expansion plan to deliver the self-driving taxis to major cities around the world.

“We’re entering a new chapter and accelerating our commercial expansion,” the company said in a blog post.

Waymo will introduce a mixed fleet of Jaguar I-PACE and Zeekr RT vehicles that have been trained for driving in harsher climates.
