Uber has launched a new service in Austin, allowing users to choose between hailing a Waymo robotaxi or a human-driven ride. This service, established in collaboration with Waymo, was launched just before the SXSW conference, emphasizing the growing trend towards electric and autonomous transportation solutions. The launch reflects the deepening partnership between Waymo and Uber, establishing them as collaborators in the evolving landscape of autonomous vehicles. Users will see both options priced the same while each company will manage specific operational roles under the service, ensuring a seamless experience.
Waymo and Uber, once bitter rivals, have been on more amiable terms in recent years, aiming to enhance urban mobility with their innovative collaboration.
The structure of the 'Waymo on Uber' service forecasts how each company envisions its role in the nascent autonomous vehicle industry.
