Waymo and Uber Eats test driverless delivery in Phoenix
Quick Glance: Uber Eats Embraces Waymo for Robotic Food Delivery
  • Uber partners with Waymo to use self-driving cars for meal delivery in Phoenix, Arizona.

  • Customers can opt for driver-free delivery through the Eats app but must retrieve their food from the vehicle themselves.

  • Automating the delivery process aligns with Uber's strategic shift away from driver-related challenges and increasing pressure from gig workers.

  • Global legal developments may impact the future of working conditions for independent contractors at Uber and similar platforms.
