Investing.com -- Uber (NYSE: UBER ) has announced that it will be offering early access to Waymo rides for selected residents in Atlanta. This initiative is part of a pilot program that began this week, and it’s exclusively available to those who previously expressed interest and signed up for the Interest List.

The early access program is a precursor to the full launch of Waymo rides in Atlanta, which is scheduled for later this summer. Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) Inc., is known for its development and deployment of fully autonomous vehicles. The rides will be available only through the Uber platform.

Uber has encouraged those who are part of the early access program to share their experiences and feedback through the app. This feedback is expected to be valuable for the company in refining the service before the full launch. The company has not yet released details on when the full launch will occur or how many Atlantans are included in the early access program.
