Waymo has announced a multi-year partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders to bring autonomous ride-hailing service to Allegiant Stadium, marking the company's first public robotaxi program in Las Vegas1,2,3.
The collaboration will provide dedicated pickup and drop-off zones within a short walk of the stadium for fans attending Raiders games, UNLV games, concerts, and other major events. Waymo plans to deploy dedicated event routing plans and a 24/7 operations team to manage rider demand during high-traffic periods.
The partnership also represents what the Raiders described as the first time a professional football team has partnered with an autonomous vehicle company. Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan framed the deal around fan experience and safety: "Partnering with Waymo reflects our drive to lead the industry in innovation and provide fans the best experience. Most importantly, it gives them a safe, reliable autonomous designated driver so they can focus entirely on enjoying the event".
Beyond transportation, Waymo is offering fans exclusive experiences including a "Kickoff Kid" program, pre-game field passes, and upgraded VIP seats.
Waymo has not released a specific launch date for the service but says rides will become available soon. Fans can download the Waymo app and register interest to be among the first riders, with early sign-ups helping the company gauge demand and refine routing before full deployment.
Waymo's fully driverless fleet has been active in Las Vegas since July 2026, though until now it was limited to employees and internal testing. The company has spent the past year mapping local streets, conducting safety validations, and coordinating with regional transportation agencies in preparation for public service.
The announcement arrives in a competitive moment for autonomous vehicles in Las Vegas. Zoox began offering paid ride service earlier this week. ANALYSIS The stadium partnership gives Waymo a structured, high-visibility entry point into public service — concentrating demand around predictable event schedules rather than launching city-wide general availability from the outset.
The Raiders deal also functions as a marketing channel, embedding Waymo into the gameday experience of a major professional sports franchise and potentially normalizing robotaxi use among a broad consumer audience.
