Waymo and Uber Part Ways in Phoenix | Tech News

Waymo’s self-driving cars are pulling out of Phoenix’s Uber app after a three-year pilot, marking the end of their partnership in the city — though Waymo’s vehicles remain available via Uber in Austin and Atlanta. Uber’s preparing to launch a new AV partnership in Phoenix, but the identity of their new partner is under wraps. The split coincides with Waymo’s rollout of new self-driving vans and escalating competition with Uber, especially as both companies eye London next year. Despite the breakup, both firms hailed the Phoenix trial as a success — Waymo citing hundreds of thousands of completed trips, Uber calling it a foundational test that accelerated their growth in other markets.
