is granted permission to test in the most obvious choice of cities, Los Angeles, it will join competitors including Waymo and Motional that are already testing in the city. Cruise currently operates a fleet of around 150 vehicles in San Francisco. It is not just California where the company is expanding its footprint. In December, it launched a limited service in Phoenix and Austin, Texas, and says these services will grow to become as big or bigger than the San Francisco operation.
“As we get closer to the end of the year, those are going to look like fully stood-up operations on par with, or potentially larger than, what we have in San Francisco today,” Vogt said. This rapid expansion may come due to the less-onerous regulatory environment in Texas.
