Waymo has ramped up its lobbying expenditures significantly, spending over $1 million from April to June to influence US regulators on fully autonomous taxi services. This amount is more than double what it spent last year.
This increase places Waymo's lobbying budget close to that of Uber, while outpacing competitors like Amazon's Zoox and Tesla in the race for robotaxi dominance.
