As part of our ongoing partnership with Uber, Uber Eats consumers may be matched with the Waymo Driver, and have their meals delivered by a fully autonomous Waymo vehicle within our 225+ square mile Metro Phoenix service area.

We’re excited to bring another application of the Waymo Driver to more people and local businesses in Metro Phoenix — the world’s largest autonomous vehicle service area. To start, we’ll work with select merchants in Chandler, Tempe and Mesa, including local favorites like Princess Pita, Filiberto's, and Bosa Donuts.

When placing an order in our Phoenix service area, Uber Eats consumers will receive an in-app prompt that says, “autonomous vehicles may deliver your order.” They will have the opportunity to opt-out during checkout, if delivery by a human courier is preferred.

After placing an order, Uber Eats users will be notified if they’ve matched with a fully autonomous Waymo vehicle. When the vehicle arrives, customers will receive instructions to take their phone with them to open the vehicle’s trunk and collect their items.
