Waymo launched its first membership program, Waymo Premier, an invite-only $29.99 monthly tier offering priority pickups, 10% cash back, early city access and free cancellations. The move seeks to build loyalty as the robotaxi service scales toward 1 million weekly rides and enters more than 20 cities.

Membership benefits travel with riders across cities.
