Waymo, whose ties with Uber have deteriorated over a robotaxi-related bill, considers ending the partnership

Waymo is reportedly considering ending its robotaxi partnership with Uber amid worsening tensions.

The companies have already scaled back cooperation in some cities, and Waymo has notified Uber it may use its own app for rides.

The rift stems from operational frustrations and clashes over robotaxi legislation and lobbying.

A breakup would be a setback for Uber's autonomous-vehicle strategy and signal more direct competition in the robotaxi market.
