Waymo Austin Airport: Is There a Robotaxi at AUS?

No robotaxi serves Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) yet. The airport told KXAN that it had granted Waymo a permit for testing only, not for paid rides, and AUS isn't on Waymo's airport list. We found no Tesla airport service either. Book the airport leg with a regular ride and use a robotaxi in town.

What the airport and Waymo said

"AUS has only granted Waymo a permit for testing; we have not granted a permit for revenue generating rides," an airport spokesperson told KXAN, and a Waymo spokesperson said the company was in active discussions with the airport and hoped to serve riders there with Uber in the future (KXAN). AUS is not among the airports on Waymo's Airport service page (Waymo Help). Checked Nov 11, 2026

Using a robotaxi for the rest of your trip

In Austin, Waymo rides run only through Uber: opt in to autonomous rides and an eligible UberX, Uber Electric, Comfort or Comfort Electric request may be matched with a Waymo (Uber). Tesla Robotaxi runs in its own app (Tesla). The Austin guide covers both.
