In this short news video, Austin Klar announces that Waymo has moved one step closer to operating at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). He explains that after the city granted Waymo permission to map the airport in March, the mapping phase was completed and, on September 20, SFO and Mayor London Breed (note: the transcript says Mayor Lurie, but the current mayor is London Breed; we keep the name as given) announced official authorization for physical testing. Klar outlines the three‑phase rollout: Phase 1 – autonomous‑mode testing with safety drivers; Phase 2 – passenger service using fully autonomous vehicles for Waymo employees and designated airport staff; Phase 3 – a commercial pilot for paying customers before a full launch. He expresses personal excitement about riding Waymo vehicles in the city and at the airport, and encourages viewers to share the news and follow him for more San Francisco updates.

We are officially one step closer to getting Waymos at SFO. Back in March, the city authorized Waymo to begin mapping San Francisco International Airport, which is a preliminary step needed before they can actually start physically testing at the airport. Finally, after several months of mapping, on September 20th, SFO and Mayor Lurie announced that Waymo officially has authorization to start that testing. This initial testing is phase 1 of a 3-phase rollout to get Waymo at SFO for customers. The first phase is testing in autonomous mode with people behind the wheel. The next is passenger service in fully autonomous cars. Cars with the passengers being Waymo employees and designated airport staff. And Phase 3 will be piloting commercial operations of Waymo for customers before full-on launch. I'm stoked for this. I love taking Waymos in the city, and I'm looking forward to taking them to SFO.
