Waymo and Uber are ending an exclusivity arrangement in Atlanta and Austin, Texas, allowing Waymo driverless rides to be offered through platforms other than Uber. CNBC reports that in both cities, Waymo service becomes available on other platforms starting in 2028. The Next Web adds that Waymo has notified Uber it plans to launch its own app in Austin and Atlanta in January 2028, which would end the arrangement that previously limited robotaxi access to Uber in those markets. An Uber spokesperson confirmed to CNBC and Bloomberg that the company has received the notice and that the change will also “free” Uber from the exclusivity terms. The reports do not specify which additional platforms will carry Waymo rides, but they agree on the key timeline: the exclusivity ends in 2028, with Waymo’s own app planned for January 2028 in both Atlanta and Austin.
