It sold Uber ATG to Aurora in December 2020 and has since rebuilt its position as the demand aggregator that every AV developer needs, which has turned out to be the more defensible seat. Its 2026 partner list runs past 30 and includes Waymo, NVIDIA, Lucid, Nuro, Wayve, Waabi, WeRide, Avride, Serve Robotics, Pony.ai, Momenta, May Mobility, Rivian, MOIA and Verne. The capital deployment is the tell: over USD 500 million into Lucid taking Uber above 11 percent ownership with a minimum order of 35,000 vehicles running Nuro software, roughly USD 500 million combined into Nuro, USD 300 million contingent on Wayve deploying in London, USD 250 million milestone-based to Waabi, USD 100 million to WeRide, and up to USD 1.25 billion announced 2026-03-19 with Rivian for up to 50,000 AVs from 2028. The anchor is NVIDIA: announced October 2025 to scale the global Uber fleet to 100,000 Level 4 vehicles from 2027 on DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10, then expanded on 2026-03-16 to 28 cities across four continents by 2028, beginning Los Angeles and San Francisco in H1 2027, running the Alpamayo reasoning model. Commercial scores 2 because no AV-attributable revenue is disclosed and group revenue sits outside the domain scope; the value is position, leverage and momentum.","sub_category":null,"signals_total":267,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/uber","title":"Uber · robotics, San Francisco, California, United States · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Uber offers autonomous ride services on its platform using robotaxis from partners such as Motional and Avride, having exited in-house autonomy development.
