SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Waymo has officially taken its service beyond San Francisco to the Peninsula.
As of Tuesday, people can now catch a driverless taxi to Daly City, Colma, and Broadmoor.

The price will depend upon how far the trip is, how long it takes, and whether there is a huge demand at the time.
Keep in mind, Waymo's vehicles are only allowed on surface streets so don't expect to see one zipping down 101 or 280.

Riders will not be charged extra if their Waymo re-routes in an unexpected way.
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Vice President David Canepa says they had very little notice of the expansion.
"When Waymo only gives our police and fire chiefs a single day to comprehend how to deal with robot cars navigating your streets there's a problem," Canepa said.
