Overview
The leading global ride-hailing and delivery platform, pursuing an aggressive multi-partner autonomous vehicle strategy that positions Uber as the dispatch and demand layer for robotaxi fleets from Waymo, Nuro, Wayve, and others rather than building AVs itself. Uber was founded as a ride-hailing platform, later pursuing a multi-partner autonomous vehicle dispatch strategy. Uber and Rivian announced a partnership to deploy up to 50,000 fully autonomous robotaxis starting in San Francisco and Miami in 2028, as Uber targeted autonomous service in 15 cities by year-end 2026.
Dependency Map
One hop in each direction — see Strategic Connections below for the full, sourced breakdown of every relationship.
Strategic Connections
Dependency
- Autonomous Systems & Robotics: Uber is deploying autonomous robotaxi fleets through partnerships with NVIDIA, Lucid, Nuro, and Rivian, targeting robotaxi service in 10+ countries by late 2026.
- NVIDIA: Uber partners with NVIDIA on Alpamayo AI models and DRIVE platforms to help scale autonomous fleets to 100,000 vehicles starting in 2027.
- Nuro: Uber partners with Nuro, which supplies the self-driving system for the Lucid-based robotaxi unveiled at CES 2026; Uber has committed to deploying 35,000+ Nuro-equipped Lucid vehicles over six years.
Competition / Other
- Pony AI: Uber's robotaxi ambitions compete with Pony.ai and WeRide's autonomous ride-hailing services, even as Uber also partners with some autonomous vehicle makers.
- WeRide: Uber's robotaxi ambitions compete with WeRide and Pony.ai's autonomous ride-hailing services, even as Uber also partners with some autonomous vehicle makers.
- Waymo: Uber's own multi-partner robotaxi ambitions compete with Alphabet's Waymo even as the two also partner in some markets; Uber ended its Waymo partnership in Phoenix in July 2026.
- Tesla: Tesla's planned robotaxi service competes with Uber's ride-hailing and robotaxi ambitions, as well as with Pony.ai and WeRide in autonomous ride-hailing more broadly.
Strategic Risks
- Autonomous vehicle strategy depends entirely on third-party AV partners reaching commercial-scale reliability and cost
Future Outlook
- Expanding autonomous vehicle service across more cities as partner fleets scale toward 2027
