Austin riders can now be matched with a Waymo (GOOGL) autonomous vehicle on the Uber (UBER) app. In Austin, Waymo rides will only be available on the Uber app. Riders who request an UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric could be matched with a Waymo fully autonomous all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicle – at no additional cost. Before a nearby Waymo vehicle is sent your way, you’ll have the option to accept or switch to a non-AV ride. Once the Waymo arrives, riders can unlock the vehicle, open the trunk, and start the trip all the Uber app.
