Waymo and Uber launch robotaxi service in Atlanta


Don't worry, you can decline if self-driving cars aren't your thing.

"Atlantans are now able to experience the same safety, comfort, and convenience of Waymo’s fully autonomous driving technology that millions of people around the US — from San Francisco to Austin — currently have the access to," Nicole Gavel, Head of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Waymo, said in a statement. The launch is a long time coming as Waymo first started tests in Atlanta back in January 2018. Then, last September, the company announced its services would arrive to Georgia's capital city in " early 2025."
