Lyft and Waymo are partnering to bring robotaxis to Nashville


Waymo is tapping an old partner, Lyft, to launch a robotaxi service in Nashville.

The company said Wednesday it will begin testing its fleet of all-electric and autonomous Jaguar I-Pace vehicles in the Nashville area in the coming months and will open up the service to the public next year. The partnership agreement announced Wednesday comes as Waymo ramps up its robotaxi expansion from its initial commercial market of Phoenix to Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
