Will Waymo launch in Washington DC by June 30 2026?

This market exhibits extreme mispricing with a 9,377% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting either severe undervaluation of Waymo's DC expansion timeline or rational skepticism given the 5% probability reflects very low market confidence in a 16-month launch window. The zero 24-hour volume and $6.2K open interest indicate minimal liquidity despite the outsized yield, creating execution risk for any position, while the recent price decline from 6¢ to 5¢ over seven days suggests weakening conviction among existing holders. With 74 days to expiry and a Cliff Risk Index of 19, this appears to be a speculative long-shot bet rather than a liquid prediction market.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Waymo begins offering its ride-hailing service to the general public within the listed city by June 30, 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 (see: https://waymo.com/rides/c), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
