Uber launches robotaxi support project to aid AV partners

Uber Autonomous Solutions
Uber is moving aggressively into robotaxis, striking deals with new partners and promising big investments to support future fleets—basically everything it can do except design and build the vehicles itself (it tried that once, unsuccessfully). The ride‑hail giant is launching a new initiative called Uber Autonomous Solutions to support its third‑party robotaxi partners.
Through this program, Uber will extend many of the services it provides to its drivers and couriers—vehicle financing, fleet‑management tools, regulatory assistance—to its AV partners, including companies such as Wayve, WeRide, Nuro, Waabi, and others.
