Waymo, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)'s self-driving vehicle subsidiary, will offer its autonomous rides on Via Transportation's public transit platform, starting with the city of Chandler in Arizona, Reuters reported on Thursday.
The service will begin this fall as part of Chandler’s on-demand small-scale public transportation service, Chandler Flex, which charges $2 per ride and is powered by Via's software.
It will allow some users the option to book a driverless ride with the Waymo app during periods of high demand, a Via spokesperson stated.
On Wednesday, Waymo announced plans to start offering autonomous cab rides next year in Nashville, Tennessee, in collaboration with ride-sharing company Lyft.
Waymo currently offers paid driverless rides to the public in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with parts of Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta.
