As of 2022, which is the only company that offers a driverless taxi service?

As of 2022, only one completely public service operates without safety drivers. Waymo, owned by Alphabet (Google’s parent company,) offers a driverless service in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. On Aug. 16, 2022, Lyft said it would allow users to hail a new self-driving cab on and around the Las Vegas Strip. Unlike the Waymo service, “Safety drivers” will ride along in Lyft’s vehicles to take control of the car should anything go wrong.
