Waymo driverless taxi parks in lower Manhattan in New York City, U.S., Nov. 26, 2025.

Waymo, the robotaxi unit owned by Alphabet , has crossed 450,000 weekly paid rides, according to a letter from investor Tiger Global viewed by CNBC.

That's almost double the milestone it hit in April, when Waymo reported 250,000 paid robotaxi rides a week in the U.S.

"Waymo is the clear leader in autonomous driving, recently surpassing 450k trips per week with a product that is 10x safer than human drivers," Tiger Global wrote in a letter to investors announcing the launch of a new fund.

Tiger's 450,000-ride estimate is based on publicly available data. Waymo is one of the largest positions in Tiger's 2024 fund.

Waymo declined to comment.
