The partnership between Waymo and Uber is unravelling in key US markets due to operational friction and diverging strategic goals. Waymo has achieved sufficient scale to pursue a direct-to-consumer model, while Uber is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic aggregator for multiple autonomous vehicle providers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Autonomous Vehicles.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your distribution partner has a shelf life. Waymo proves that once your tech gets good enough to stand alone, the platform you launched on becomes a rival you have to disintermediate.
