Alphabet unit Waymo (GOOG.O) said it will start paid robotaxi service in Las Vegas on Monday, marking its 15th U.S. city. The service will roll out in phases, with an initial deployment of dozens of vehicles and plans to scale to hundreds.

Operations will be managed by Moove, which also runs Waymo fleets in Phoenix and Miami. Waymo currently operates more than 4,000 robotaxis in the U.S. and delivers over 500,000 paid rides a week; it is targeting 20 cities and about 1 million paid weekly rides globally this year and is preparing tests in London and Tokyo.
