Alphabet subsidiary Waymo registers domains in preparation for expanded service.
Self-driving taxis are getting closer to reality.
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has begun testing fares for beta users of its Waymo taxi service. In conjunction with the news about its progress, Waymo registered a handful of domain names:
waymo1.com
waymobayarea.com
waymodaily.com
waymoearlyrider.com
waymoearlyriders.com
waymofleetsupport.com
waymolidar.com
waymolidars.com
waymonext.com
waymoone.com
waymophoenix.com
waymoriders.com
waymoridersupport.com
waymosensor.com
waymosensors.com
waymosupport.com
waymotoday.com
Waymo is primarily testing its service in Phoenix. Early Rider is the name of its beta program that has hundreds of users.
As the company expands its self-driving taxi service to more cities and more riders, domains like WaymoSupport.com are smart defensive registrations.
