Waymo Partners Uber To Launch Atlanta Robotaxi Service

  • Uber and Waymo have launched their robotaxi service in Atlanta, allowing Uber riders to be matched with Waymo autonomous vehicles through the Uber app.
  • The service covers 65 square miles in Atlanta, offering rides in fully autonomous all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles at no extra cost.
  • Waymo is currently the leading player in the US robotaxi landscape and has expanded its services to cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin.
  • Last week, Waymo applied for testing permits in New York City and has conducted over 10 million trips so far, with weekly trips exceeding 250,000.
  • Uber riders in Atlanta can opt for a Waymo AV ride when requesting UberX, Comfort, or Comfort Electric, enabling seamless interactions through the Uber app.
  • Users can unlock the Waymo vehicle doors, open the trunk, and start the trip entirely from the Uber app, with 24/7 assistance available.
  • Elon Musk's Tesla also began offering a limited robotaxi service, while Waymo expands its reach with future plans in cities like Miami and Washington, DC.
