Recent funding round
Hello! On behalf of Waymo and as part of my work at Beutler Ink (which I've disclosed at the top of this page), I'd like to submit a request to add mention of the most recent funding round, per many sources: The Wall Street Journal, The Verge, Reuters, Forbes, Automotive News, CNN, TechCrunch, etc.

I'm open to editors' preferred wording and citation(s), but here's specific text for consideration:
 * Waymo raised $2.5 billion in a second funding round in June 2021.

typo?
What are "unmapped stopped lights"? Should this be 'unmapped stop lights?" 98.45.190.70 (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Spelling correction
On behalf of Waymo, I'm submitting a request to change "Weymo" to "Waymo" in the sentence, "In March 2022, Weymo said that they will begin offering rides in San Francisco without a driver." I don't edit articles directly because of my conflict of interest, so I'm hoping User:Yasuo Miyakawa or another editor can correct the typo on my behalf. Thanks in advance!

Waymo One Trusted Tester program
Hello again! On behalf of Waymo and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to submit a request to add mention of the Waymo One Trusted Tester program, per The Arizona Republic and Phoenix Business Journal. I'm open to editors' preferred wording and citation(s), but here's specific text for consideration:
 * In May 2022, after testing with employees, Waymo launched its Waymo One Trusted Tester program for residents in Downtown Phoenix. The research-focused initiative asks participants to share feedback during their rides, and is similar to the program launched in San Francisco in August 2021.

Pinging you two as previous reviewers. Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 17:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Your text itself seems to be good with good cite course. No problem. Other thing caught my eye; inconsistency of date format throughout this article...Yasuo Miyakawa (talk) 00:08, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * . I've fixed the date formatting issue as well. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing and updating the article. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:03, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Date formatting
As current dates in this article are inconsistent, I'm going to set Template:Use mdy dates, as pages of Google and Alphabet Inc. are using this template. OK? Dr.Yasuo Miyakawa (talk) 04:16, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * ✔️ Thanks. Yasuo Miyakawa (talk) 06:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * American English and MDY dates should be used on all Google/Alphabet articles, as Google/Alphabet is an American company. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Adding a backlash section
Waymo testing has caused backlash and tension with San Francisco and some other cities. I am not sure how to exactly format it in, or where it would belong, so I included it in the road testing section. homo momo (talk) 19:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Waymo One update
Hello again! On behalf of Waymo and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to submit a request to update the text about Waymo One to note an additional expansion in the Phoenix metropolitan area in 2023, per The Arizona Republic, KTAR-FM, and City Sun Times, among other sources.

Currently, Waymo says: "In May 2022, Waymo launched its Waymo One Trusted Tester program for residents in Phoenix, Arizona. In May 2022, Waymo announced that it would expand the program to more areas of Phoenix." This is accurate, but outdated.

I'm open to editors' preferred wording and citation(s), but here's specific text for consideration:


 * In 2023, coverage of the Waymo One area was increased by 45 square miles, expanding the world's largest contiguous autonomous vehicle service area to include downtown Mesa, uptown Phoenix, and South Mountain Village.

Pinging you two as previous reviewers, if you're willing to take a look and update the article on my behalf. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
