"Waymo has opened its robotaxi service to the public in Nashville, marking the city as the 11th location for this autonomous ride-hailing experience. The service will operate in a designated 60-square-mile area, with a focus on a gradual rollout to ensure a high-quality experience for riders."
"In Nashville, riders will initially hail rides directly through the Waymo app, with plans to expand availability through the Lyft app as the service grows. Lyft will manage fleet services, including vehicle readiness and maintenance, through its subsidiary Flexdrive."
"Waymo's partnership with Lyft in Nashville differs from its previous collaborations with Uber in other cities, where customers used the Uber app to request rides. This new approach provides riders with two options for accessing robotaxi services."
