Waymo and Uber Quietly End Their Phoenix Robotaxi Partnership
Waymo robotaxis are no longer bookable on Uber's app in Phoenix, ending a nearly three-year partnership in the city where the deal began. Both companies framed it as a planned contract expiration -- Waymo has folded the vehicles back into its own Phoenix fleet, available through the Waymo app, while Uber is preparing to name a new autonomous-vehicle partner in the market. The split lands as the two firms prepare to compete head-to-head in London.
