“Waymo robotaxis made up about 20% of rides offered by Uber Technologies Inc. in Austin in the last week of March, underscoring how consumers have warmed to the autonomous service since the companies launched a partnership early last month.

The analysis was based on customer email receipts collected by market analytics firm YipitData. The firm also found that Waymo, Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous vehicle unit, has racked up 80% more driverless rides in its operating zone in Austin in the first 27 days of offering service than it did in the early days of its San Francisco launch. A key difference in the rollout is that Waymo trips are exclusively available through Uber in Austin, while in San Francisco they’re available only through Waymo’s own app.”
