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.
Strategic Connections
