Uber has launched a new service in Austin, Texas, in partnership with Waymo, enabling riders to request driverless vehicles without incurring additional costs. Users can select from various vehicle types and may opt to ride in Waymo's electric Jaguar I-PACE if available. This service promotes ease of use with 24/7 customer support and is part of Uber's broader aim to improve sustainability and accessibility in transportation. Future expansions are planned, including Atlanta, and the initiative is designed to coexist with human drivers for a comprehensive transport solution.
"We're reimagining how the world moves and building a future where autonomous vehicles and drivers work side by side to help make transportation more affordable, sustainable, and accessible for all."
"If one of the fleets is free, an option will pop up to accept the Waymo, or wait for a non-autonomous vehicle, so that antsy riders won't be forced into a car with an empty driver's seat."
