The End of an Exclusive Arrangement: What Does it Mean for Ride Hailing? The news that Waymo is ending its exclusive arrangement with Uber in Atlanta and Austin has sent shockwaves through the ride hailing industry.
For three years, Waymo's robotaxis have been available exclusively on the Uber app in these two cities. This move comes as Waymo expands its reach, with robotaxi services now live in nine other markets across the US.
Last year, they struck a deal with Lyft to offer non exclusive robotoaxi rides in Nashville, Tennessee.
