Fusion42 · 19 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

Uber has launched autonomous rides in Zagreb, Europe, in partnership with Pony.ai and Verne, offering customers the first autonomous vehicle bookings via the Uber app with a licensed safety operator onboard initially and plans for fully driverless operations in the future.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 4 sources have reported it between 19 Aug 2026 and 20 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Uber integrating autonomous rides on its platform opens a direct route for robotics startups to scale in urban Europe without building consumer demand from scratch. You need to engage with platforms like Uber fast to avoid losing market share in AV passenger services.
