Waymo brings its robotaxis to Tesla’s home town of Austin, Texas, via the Uber app. And one other big city will see Waymo cars later this year.

Today’s the day: Waymo’s unlikely partnership with Uber is now live in Austin, Texas. The former rivals have joined forces in the hopes of accelerating the transition to autonomous vehicles, and as of today, any Austin resident with a desire to take a trip in a fully driverless robotaxi can open their Uber app and hail away.

Uber users in Austin now have a choice between a Waymo robotaxi and a human driver. The two companies officially launched Tuesday the "Waymo on Uber"

Uber is shifting into a new gear in Austin, Texas where its ride-hailing service will begin dispatching self-driving cars to pick up passengers looking for a way to get around that city.

Starting today, riders can be matched with a Waymo autonomous vehicle on the Uber app and travel across 37 square miles of Austin.

Uber and Waymo on Tuesday announced residents of Austin can now order rides with self-driving cars. According to a press release from the ride-sharing service, starting Tuesday, city residents can be matched with an autonomous vehicle (AV) from the Alphabet-owned Waymo company.
