Uber launches parking service after SpotHero acquisition, with an eye on robotaxis
Uber launched a service that lets customers reserve and pay for parking in major U.S. cities, about nine months after acquiring the parking app SpotHero. The deal, announced in February, gives it access to a network of 13,000 garages, lots and valet services across more than 400 cities. The initial rollout covers 15 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami. The company also plans to use those spots as staging areas for autonomous vehicles.
