Uber, WeRide, and AVOMO launched Spain's first commercial robotaxi pilot in Madrid, marking their joint entry into the European market with service expected to start later in 2026 via the Uber app.
This is the fourth of 15 cities under the WeRide-Uber partnership with 11 more planned by 2030; WeRide provides autonomy via its WeRide One platform, while AVOMO handles operations managing approximately 400 vehicles.
WeRide already operates fully driverless services in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, holds AV permits in eight countries, operates in 40+ cities across 12 countries, and Spain is its fifth European market.
Waymo and Waze announced a pilot program on April 9, 2026, using Waymo's perception and physical feedback systems to detect potholes and provide the data to cities and state Departments of Transportation.
The data will be available through the free Waze for Cities platform to municipal officials and visible to Waze app users in Waymo-operating cities, with user verification improving detection accuracy.
Potholes cause significant vehicle damage and contribute to crashes; cities currently rely on non-emergency 311 reports and manual inspections, which provide incomplete road maintenance coverage.
Waymo and DoorDash announced a partnership on October 16, 2025, enabling DoorDash customers to request fully autonomous Waymo vehicle deliveries across Phoenix's 315 square-mile service area.
Service launches with DashMart (DoorDash's convenience and grocery stores) and expands to additional merchants, with customers opting in at checkout and accessing contactless delivery via the DoorDash app to open the vehicle trunk.
Both companies highlight seamless, safe, contact-free delivery experience while advancing DoorDash's multi-modal autonomous commerce vision and leveraging Waymo's proven autonomous driving technology.
