Uber, Waymo Part Ways

On Monday, Bloomberg reported that the two companies had ended their partnership in Phoenix, where Waymo vehicles were also used for food deliveries. The report then said that Uber intends to announce a new partnership in the area with an unnamed company.

Uber and Waymo did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s request for comment.
