Waymo Ojai

Waymo Ojai ("the Ojai") is a new, purpose-built vehicle for fully autonomous passenger transport (a robotaxi), unveiled by Waymo in May 2026. It was designed as a "rider-first" platform — focused on passenger comfort and experience. The vehicle has a brand-new, distinctive silhouette, elevator-like doors, a low step and a completely flat floor, making the interior feel like a "living room on wheels." The cabin features three large LED screens that let riders customize the trip.

Accessibility is built into the vehicle's DNA: embedded braille, screen-reader compatibility and a seat-integrated handle. While the silhouette is entirely new, the driving technology is an evolution of the safety-proven Waymo Driver, which has completed over 20 million fully autonomous trips across 11+ cities. The Ojai is the first vehicle to debut the 6th-generation Waymo Driver. First rides for select riders (Trusted Testers) begin in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles, with plans to scale to more cities.
