Waymo and Uber have launched a collaborative robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. The service is integrated into the Uber app, allowing users to potentially ride in Waymo’s autonomous vehicles when they request an UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric ride. This expansion follows an announced partnership between the two companies to bring the Waymo One experience to Austin and Atlanta. The fleet consists of fully autonomous, all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles, with plans to increase the number of vehicles over time. The service covers 37 square miles in Austin and involves a third-party partner, Avomo, for vehicle storage, cleaning, and maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
