JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville City Councilman Rory Diamond says he wants the autonomous vehicle company Waymo to operate in Jacksonville.
In a post on X, Diamond said he plans to do “everything” he can to bring the self-driving service to the city.
His post came while sharing another message showing a recent Waymo ride experience in Miami, where the service has begun operating.

Waymo, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, runs driverless ride services in several U.S. cities, including Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and recently expanded testing and service in Florida.
It’s unclear when or if Waymo could launch in Jacksonville.
If Waymo eventually launches in Jacksonville, it would likely require city discussions, regulations, and coordination with state and local transportation agencies.
