Waymo will end its exclusive partnership with Uber in Austin and Atlanta by January 2028 and start offering rides through its own standalone app, aiming to create a more consistent autonomous ride experience and direct consumer relationship.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 3 sources have reported it between 4 Nov 2026 and 5 Nov 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Waymo is cutting out Uber to control the customer experience with its own app. You in ride-hailing or autonomous services need to prepare for more direct competition and rethink your dependence on aggregator platforms.
