TechCrunch Mobility reports that Uber and Waymo — whose partnership has been deteriorating in recent weeks — are now sparring both publicly and behind the scenes over a bill before the D.C. Council that would permit autonomous vehicles to operate in Washington, D.C.
Based on Uber's correspondence with the D.C. Council reviewed by TechCrunch, Uber opposes the bill, arguing it would displace for-hire human drivers and hand Waymo a de facto monopoly in the city.
Uber has instead lobbied the D.C. Council for an alternative regulatory approach, underscoring how robotaxi rulemaking in individual U.S. cities is becoming a direct battleground between AV operators and ride-hailing incumbents.
