Download the Waymo app and get ready to ride, as we begin inviting riders on a rolling basis. This approach allows us to thoughtfully scale while delivering a consistent, high-quality experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Waymo offers a new way to move through Nashville—whether you’re catching a show, meeting friends, or exploring the city. Our initial 60-square-mile service area covers Music City’s most iconic spots, from the honky tonks of Broadway and the boutiques of 12 South, to the energy of Midtown and the foodie scene in East Nashville. Plus, we are currently testing at Nashville International Airport and intend to serve travelers there in the near future.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><img border=0 width=1920 height=1080 style='width:20.0in;height:11.25in' id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image001.png@01DCC75E.80BE9860" alt="A map of Nashville, Tennessee, with a large blue shaded area representing the Waymo service territory.

They have embraced Waymo’s fully autonomous service, recognizing the opportunity to expand access to innovative and safe transportation options for everyone:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>“As families and businesses move to Tennessee in record numbers, our state continues to lead the nation in finding innovative solutions to transportation challenges," said Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. "By leveraging private sector technologies like Waymo's fully autonomous vehicles, we're expanding mobility in ways we couldn't achieve on our own and further accelerating economic growth.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>“Waymo is an opportunity for older adults to embrace new technology and new ways of getting around,” said Grace Sutherland Smith, Executive Director, AgeWell Middle Tennessee. “It's so important as we grow older to stay connected to the community and transportation is a key to that. We also believe the advance booking feature can help lighten the load on family caregivers who may have to take time off work to drive loved ones to appointments. So we're excited about Waymo coming to Nashville and being an option for the older adults and caregivers we serve.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We’re looking forward to helping make roads safer in Nashville. Data from <a href="https://waymo.com/safety/impact/">over 170 million miles</a> traveled shows that, compared to human drivers, we achieved a 13 fold reduction in crashes that involved serious injury or worse and the same reduction in crashes that involved injuries with pedestrians.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We’re excited to provide riders with more choice. In addition to hailing fully autonomous rides on the Waymo app, we'll also start serving rides on the Lyft app later this year. Lyft will also serve as our fleet management partner in Nashville via Flexdrive.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Nashville, we can’t wait for you to experience the future of driving in Music City. If you want to be one of the first riders, make sure you <a href="https://waymo.smart.link/vl46hvhtm">download</a> the Waymo app and keep an eye on our social channels for access codes to skip the line.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Peter Donahue<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
