Dara Khosrowshahi said the company's partnership with the Google-backed robotaxi firm in the Texas city had "exceeded our expectations."

While Waymo may be Uber’s marquee U.S. partner, the rideshare giant is making it clear it won’t rely on just one self-driving tech provider.

The company on Wednesday announced a route share feature on its platform, prepaid ride passes and special deals week for Uber One members at its annual Go-Get showcase.

Uber SVP Andrew Macdonald said human drivers will soon face serious competition from self-driving taxis in city centers.

Prominent investor Ross Gerber recently shared that, in his view, Alphabet's Waymo self-driving technology performs better than human drivers—hinting at growing pressure on ride-sharing and autonomous vehicle rivals.

The ride-sharing app has been looking to invest in more affordable transport and delivery offerings to widen its user base and combat slowing revenue growth in an uncertain economic environment.

Atlanta will soon join Austin, Texas, offering autonomous Uber ride-hailing vehicles, the company's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, said today.

Self-driving taxi company Waymo has recalled over 1,200 cars in the US after multiple collisions. This has once again raised concerns about self-driving cars in India and how the infrastructure is lacking.

Hot on the heels of their partnership announcement, Uber and Volkswagen will soon be launching shared autonomous rides, the companies said Wednesday. The initiative is slated to kick off in Los Angeles in 2026.
