Uber and Waymo Launch Robotaxi Service in Atlanta
Uber and Waymo have started a new robotaxi service in Atlanta.
This means you can call a self-driving car using the Uber app.
The cars are electric and use special sensors to drive themselves, unlike some other self-driving cars that still have a person inside.
You pay the same price as a regular Uber, and the company hopes to expand the service with more cars soon.
This news also made Uber's stock price go up, which is a good sign for the company.
Uber and Waymo launched a robotaxi service in Atlanta, Georgia.
The service uses fully autonomous, all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles.
Rides are accessed via the Uber app and priced similarly to UberX.
Waymo vehicles utilize a suite of sensors, including lidar, radar, and cameras.
Uber's stock increased following the launch announcement.
