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. But, of course, there are some limitations. Waymo only operates within a 37-square-mile area in Austin, which includes Hyde Park, Downtown, Montopolis, and other “popular destinations,” according to the company. So the trip will need to originate and end within that service area in order to qualify for Waymo. It also doesn’t operate on highways yet, so the route will only comprise local streets. Image: UberAnother thing to consider: simply calling an Uber in Waymo’s geofence doesn’t guarantee a robotaxi will show up. Waymo spokesperson Chris Bonelli declined to share the size of the company’s fleet in Austin but acknowledged that it was small at launch.“While smaller to start, the fleet will grow to hundreds of vehicles over time,” Bonelli said. As of August 2024, Waymo’s fleet had about 700 vehicles, most of which are in operation in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The company has thousands of Jaguar I-Pace vehicles stored at a warehouse in Phoenix, . And Waymo has deals with Hyundai and Zeekr to add new vehicles to its fleet over time.

For those keeping score, there were approximately 550 days between identifying Austin as a future robotaxi city and launching the service on the Uber app. Waymo’s success depends partly on narrowing that window for future cities in order to prove its scalability, while . At launch, Waymo’s vehicles will be available exclusively on Uber’s app in Austin.

Waymo’s own ridehail app, Waymo One, will not be operational in Austin. Customers who open Waymo One will be redirected to Uber’s app. For those keeping score, there were approximately 550 days between identifying Austin as a future robotaxi city and launching the service on the Uber appThat means certain functions that were controlled in the Waymo One app in other cities will now be controlled through the Uber app. These include unlocking the vehicle, popping the trunk, and starting the trip. Customers can also access 24/7 customer support through the app or via a button in the Waymo vehicle. In another first, Uber will manage fleet services, including vehicle cleaning, maintenance, inspections, EV charging, and depot operations. The company is contracting with Avmo (formerly Moove Cars) to handle these tasks. Waymo is still responsible for vehicle testing, roadside assistance, and certain elements of rider support. Waymo and Uber will obviously share in the costs and the revenue produced by the robotaxi service, though both companies have declined to share the split.The launch signals the start of a new era of cooperation between Uber, the rideshare giant that gobbled up the global taxi industry, and upstart Waymo, which is slowly trying to chip away at that dominance. “Starting today, Austin riders can be matched with a Waymo autonomous vehicle on the Uber app, making their next trip even more special,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. “With Waymo’s technology and Uber’s proven platform, we’re excited to introduce our customers to a future of transportation that is increasingly electric and autonomous.”It’s important to remember that Uber and Waymo weren’t always so chummy.In 2017, and its subsidiary, self-driving truck startup Otto, over allegations of trade secret theft and patent infringement.

But as Waymo eyes more markets, most experts agree that the business will take a long time to grow.
