Uber and Waymo's commercial robotaxi service is open for business in Atlanta | TechCrunch
Briefly

Waymo has launched its robotaxi service in Atlanta via Uber, expanding from a similar partnership in Austin. This service covers 65 square miles, significantly increasing both companies' operational footprints. Users can opt for robotaxis through the Uber app, which integrates both autonomous and human-driven options. Pricing aligns with standard Uber services, and maintenance for the fleet is managed by Uber while Waymo oversees technology and operations. With a focus on growing their fleet size, both companies aim to enhance user experience and capabilities in the autonomous vehicle market.
The "Waymo on Uber" service merges human-driven rides with robotaxis, allowing riders to switch if they prefer a standard Uber, enhancing their ride choices.
Waymo is expanding its Atlanta fleet, currently in the "dozens," with plans for significant growth, complementing its already extensive operations in other cities.
