Waymo has confirmed it will restructure its partnership with Uber starting in January 2028, which will create direct competition in shared markets since Uber already partners with multiple autonomous vehicle companies. The move signals Waymo's intent to operate more independently rather than as a ride-hailing partner on Uber's platform.
Background
Waymo has operated as Uber's primary autonomous vehicle partner since 2023, providing self-driving rides through Uber's app in select cities. Uber diversifies its AV partnerships, working with companies like Cruise and others.
