Waymo Begins Offering Teen Accounts, Starting in Metro Phoenix

Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo is launching a new account type that lets teenagers hail a robotaxi and ride alone, expanding its rider base while continuing to test its service in more US cities.

Teens from 14 to 17 can have a user profile paired to a parent’s account starting on Tuesday, the company said in a statement. The program will initially be available where Waymo’s vehicles operate in the Metro Phoenix area. The company intends to expand teen service to other cities.
