Waymo plans to end its exclusive robotaxi partnership with Uber in Atlanta and Austin by January 2028, shifting to offer autonomous rides through its own app. This move follows rider feedback about inconsistent access to Waymo vehicles via Uber’s app, prompting Waymo to seek a more reliable and direct customer relationship. The change highlights growing competition between ride-hailing platforms and self-driving car makers, with companies like Tesla also favoring their own apps. Waymo aims to double its fleet to 8,000 vehicles this year and improve service quality despite higher costs compared to traditional ride-hailing options.
Uber shares rose 5.30% to USD 70.13 on Pluang as of Nov 05, 2026 03:01 WIB, reflecting strong market interest despite the end of its exclusive robotaxi partnership with Waymo.

Tesla, another key player in autonomous driving, saw a 2.69% decline to USD 387.80, showing mixed reactions among ride-hailing and self-driving car stocks.
