Uber launches new parking reservation program in Atlanta

ATLANTA — Uber is introducing a new parking reservation service in Atlanta, making it one of 15 cities included in the company’s initial rollout.

The launch comes approximately nine months after Uber acquired SpotHero, a parking reservation app.

According to Uber, the new service will allow drivers to reserve parking spaces across a network of 13,000 garages and parking lots spanning more than 400 cities.

The company also plans to use some of those parking spaces as waiting areas for autonomous vehicles, also known as robotaxis.
