   Question

   Will Waymo launch in Chicago, IL by December 31 2026?

   Rules

   This market will resolve to “Yes” if Waymo begins offering its ride-hailing service to the general public within the listed city by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No".

   Any taxi service available to the general public which operates without a human driver actively controlling the vehicle will count, regardless of membership or other financial restrictions.

   A qualifying launch requires the general public be able to hail a Waymo vehicle within the listed city \ through the Waymo One app or another official Waymo platform (such as a dedicated website or integrated partner app like Uber).

   Limited pilot programs, internal employee testing, or invite-only service will not qualify.

   The primary resolution source is official information from Waymo, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

   Saved in my first snapshot of every open market. Neither venue keeps older versions, so nothing before this exists.
