Waymo, Uber set aside past rift over tech to team up on robotaxis in Phoenix
But Uber has remained interested in driverless technology as a potential way to boost its profits by reducing the need for humans behind the wheel. The new alliance in Phoenix will involve Waymo dispatching some of its driverless vehicles to pick up passengers and deliver food when summoned through the Uber app at some point later this year.
The two companies didn't disclose how many of Waymo's robotaxis will be used to pick up Uber passengers and deliver food. The addition of Waymo's robotaxis figures to help Uber build on the momentum that it has been gaining during the past year as the easing pandemic encouraged more passengers to begin summoning rides again while its food delivery service has retained many of the customers who began using during home lockdowns.
