Waymo's Ride-hailing Partnership (2018)
In 2018, Waymo partnered with Lyft, a ride-hailing company, to offer self-driving taxis to Lyft users. The partnership marked a significant step towards integrating Waymo's technology into the ride-hailing industry. Waymo's self-driving taxis were initially available in Phoenix and other cities, and the company expanded its services to more areas over the following year.
