Waymo's robotaxi fleet in Texas grew 49% in the past month.
The figure comes from fleet data showing Waymo added vehicles to its Texas operations at that rate in just four weeks. The same data flags other unspecified hotspots for Waymo, but no numbers are attached to them. That leaves Texas as the only market where the scale of Waymo's expansion is actually measurable right now.
A 49% jump in one month is a steep curve for a company running paid rides, not a pilot program. It signals Waymo is willing to add cars faster than before, at least where the regulatory path is clear - which matters more for how quickly robotaxis become a normal way to get around than any single headline number.
Still, one state's growth rate isn't a national trend. Until Waymo puts numbers behind those other hotspots, the honest read is: Texas is scaling hard, and everywhere else is a mystery.
