Waymo appears poised to go fully driverless in Sacramento within weeks, a city councilmember says, extending its robotaxi footprint further into California's interior. Meanwhile, down the coast in Santa Monica, the company is fighting a city ban on overnight charging at two of its taxi stations, arguing the restriction threatens round-the-clock service. The two fronts capture Waymo's current phase: expanding fast while haggling with cities over the mundane logistics of keeping a robot fleet powered.
