Uber, Rivian Plan 50,000 Robotaxis in Major Autonomy Push Uber and Rivian are making a major push into autonomous mobility, the companies announced, with plans to deploy up to 50,000 fully driverless robotaxis over the next decade. The partnership centers on Rivian's upcoming R2 electric SUV, which will serve as the basis for the robotaxi fleet that will operate exclusively on the Uber platform. The companies say an first phase will involve 10,000 fully autonomous vehicles, with first examples expected to operate in San Francisco and Miami starting in 2028. The program is intended to expand to as many as 25 cities across the US, Canada, and Europe by 2031. Read more here. |
