Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana confirmed to Bloomberg that the robotaxi company will end its exclusive ride-hailing arrangement with Uber in the Austin and Atlanta markets starting January 2028. Rides will instead be offered through Waymo's own app, as in its other cities (techcrunch.com). The original exclusivity deal was due to expire in May 2028 (techcrunch.com). The Financial Times had reported earlier that Waymo was seeking to exit the arrangement, and Mawakana had spoken of wanting a direct relationship with riders (techcrunch.com). Uber says it still intends to host Waymo robotaxis on its platform for as long as both parties agree (techcrunch.com). Both source analyses state that this is business and corporate strategy news. It describes no security incident, vulnerability, breach, threat actor activity or data exposure, so there is nothing for defenders to act on.
Relatos divergentes
- Scope of the change: The first techcrunch.com piece (2026-11-04, earlier) describes Waymo ending its "ride-hailing partnership" with Uber in Austin and Atlanta. The later techcrunch.com piece describes only the end of exclusivity, and says Uber still plans to host Waymo vehicles if both sides agree. The later version is more precise and should be treated as authoritative. It does not support reading the change as a full termination of the relationship.
