Waymo said Wednesday it will initially provide rides in Nashville through its proprietary app. As the service expands, riders will be able to match with a fully autonomousWaymo on the Lyft app. Waymo has a similar relationship with Uber in Austin, where the ride-hailing company manages about 100 Waymo robotaxis. Unlike the Nashville launch, Austin riders cannot hail a robotaxi through Waymo’s app. Waymo’s decision to launch robotaxis through Uber and Lyft provides a look at how the company wants to bring self-driving cars to the masses, leveraging an existing rider base that competing companies have built for more than a decade.
