Want the Uber, but not the driver? This could be your answer

Waymo already operates in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix with self-driving cars giving rides, but are expanding their partnership to Atlanta and Austin.

“Riders who request an UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric may be matched with a Waymo for qualifying trips,” Uber says in its announcement.

They say the driverless rides will start being offered in Atlanta in early 2025 and will gradually build to hundreds of vehicles in the area.
