Uber

Status

Vision

Appear to be following a strategy of distributing other autonomous vehicles rather than building their own hardware.

"We can use AVs on our network, where they can thrive and our core network where they can't. Our ability to offer this turnkey adoption path along with our hard won operational expertise of running a global ride sharing business will ensure that most providers choose to partner with Uber rather than building their own rideshare network."

BYD

Customers in Las Vegas interested in taking a ride in a Motional robotaxi can visit the Uber app and select UberX or Uber Comfort Electric options for a chance to be matched with a Motional AV. If an autonomous vehicle is available to complete the trip, Uber will match the rider to the vehicle and they will receive an offer to opt-in before the autonomous trip is confirmed and dispatched to pick them up.
