Waymo is partnering with transit‑technology firm Via to embed its driverless robotaxis into Chandler, Arizona’s Flex microtransit service. Riders will book rides through the Chandler Flex app and may be matched with Waymo’s autonomous vehicles, which will operate on a fixed schedule and flat‑fee structure. The collaboration builds on Waymo’s earlier experiments linking robotaxis to public‑transit hubs in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and follows similar microtransit pilots by other autonomous‑driving startups. Officials view the partnership as a way to broaden access to driverless mobility while complementing existing bus routes.
