Waymo is now available exclusively on Uber ’s app in Austin , Texas , as of today .

The company has been eyeing Austin as its next robotaxi market since at least August 2023 .

Uber will manage fleet services, including vehicle cleaning, maintenance, inspections, EV charging, and depot operations.

The case went to trial almost a year later but ended abruptly when the two sides reached a surprise settlement.

Uber later admitted that it misappropriated some of Waymo ’s tech and vowed to license it for future use.

Uber estimates that the autonomous vehicle market in the US alone is a trillion-dollar opportunity, but Khosrowshahi said it will take many, many years’ to build out and scale.
