Uber and Waymo to end exclusivity deal in Atlanta and Austin from 2028

Uber and Waymo have announced they will end their exclusivity arrangement in Atlanta and Austin, Texas, starting in 2028, meaning Waymo's driverless rides will become available on platforms beyond Uber in those cities. The deal had previously given Uber exclusive access to Waymo vehicles in both markets. The change could intensify competition in the robotaxi sector in those cities.
