On Tuesday local time, Uber, an American online ride-hailing platform, announced that it would expand its partnership with Waymo and officially launch a driverless taxi (Robotaxi) service in Atlanta. Influenced by this news, Uber's stock price rose nearly 8%, and has risen 52% so far this year. According to Uber, Waymo's Robotaxi service will cover an area of 65 square miles around Atlanta, including downtown, Buckhead, and the Capitol View area, but it will not yet travel on highways or go to the airport. Waymo said that dozens of taxis will be deployed in Atlanta in the early stage, and currently it has more than 1,500 driverless taxis in the United States. The cooperation between Waymo and Uber only covers passenger rides, not Uber's food delivery service. If customers do not want to take a driverless car, Uber can provide a car driven by a human.
