Uber plans to invest $10 billion to deploy 120,000 autonomous vehicles across 15 cities, partnering with multiple AV startups and leveraging its platform to become the leading commercial autonomous mobility service. The move follows new real-world testing approvals, including Wayve's robotaxi licence in London, positioning Uber in direct competition with Waymo and Tesla.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Uber's $10 billion robotaxi rollout changes urban mobility competition and forces ride-hailing founders to rethink reliance on human drivers. You should now map your service offerings to coexist or compete with autonomous fleets launching in major cities.
