Uber Plans $10 Billion Investment to Expand Robotaxi Fleet Across 15 Cities
Uber plans to invest over $10 billion to expand its robotaxi business, aiming to deploy around 120,000 autonomous vehicles across at least 15 cities by 2026. The investment focuses on equity stakes in autonomous-driving companies and supporting vehicle fleets rather than building its own cars. Despite strong second-quarter revenue and free cash flow, Uber's shares fell due to a weaker-than-expected third-quarter earnings forecast. The company competes with rivals like Waymo and Tesla in the autonomous mobility market.
