Waymo is reportedly considering ending its partnerships with Uber in Austin and Atlanta, signaling a move toward vertical integration to directly own the customer relationship in the robotaxi market. Robotaxis have expanded from just one city a decade ago to over 20 today, with Waymo positioned as a leading developer.
