A caller follows the phone tree to general support which will put residents in touch with the car service\u2019s support. A second phone number 1-877-503-0840 goes to Google, where residents can also request a self-driving taxi be moved. Residents can also request support through the Waymo website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This question stemmed from the recent rollout of Waymo\u2019s self-driving cars to parts of the South Bay. In May the robotaxi service became available in Campbell, Cupertino, Willow Glen and Vista Park in San Jose. This West Valley expansion covers roughly 60 square miles of the South Bay and a total of 330 square miles for the greater Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Sunnyvale\/comments\/1uaifrt\/comment\/osotzaz\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>San Jos\u00e9 Spotlight partners with <a href=\"https:\/\/gigafact.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gigafact<\/a> to produce fact briefs \u2014 bite-sized fact checks of trending claims.
