Waymo and Uber to Launch Self-Driving Rides in Atlanta and Austin in 2025

The partnership will expand autonomous ride-hailing services to two new cities, with fully driverless vehicles available through the Uber app.

Waymo and Uber will offer autonomous rides in Atlanta and Austin starting early 2025.
The service will use Waymo's self-driving electric Jaguar I-PACE SUVs, accessible via the Uber app.
Waymo's vehicles will operate without human drivers, expanding from their current operations in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Safety concerns persist as federal investigations and past incidents involving Waymo vehicles have raised public apprehension.
Uber will manage fleet maintenance and cleaning, while Waymo will handle customer support and roadside assistance.
