In mid-January, Waymo sought permission from the CPUC's Consumer Protection and Enforcement Division to increase its operations area from San Francisco to San Mateo and expand into parts of LA. The move frustrated public officials in the requested areas, as some felt Waymo didn't consult them about the expansion.
