About Uber Technologies, Inc.
Uber Technologies, Inc. operates a global technology platform connecting riders with drivers, as well as food and goods delivery and freight matching services. Founded in 2009 as UberCab by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick in San Francisco, the company expanded into ride-hailing, Uber Eats food delivery, and Uber Freight, and went public on the NYSE in May 2019.
Uber does not build its own autonomous vehicles but operates an ecosystem connecting its ride-hailing network to third-party self-driving technology providers, including Waymo, Aurora, Nuro, Pony.ai, Baidu, WeRide, Wayve, and others, across markets such as Austin, Atlanta, Phoenix and Tokyo. In January 2026 Uber launched "AV Labs," a unit that uses sensor-equipped vehicles and driver-collected data to supply training and testing data to autonomous-vehicle partners, and in February 2026 it consolidated this work along with robotaxi, self-driving truck and sidewalk-delivery-robot efforts into an Uber Autonomous Solutions division.
Uber previously developed self-driving technology directly through its Advanced Technologies Group (ATG), which it sold to Aurora Innovation in December 2020/January 2021 in exchange for an equity stake and a $400 million investment into Aurora. The company has since pursued a "hybrid network" strategy, aiming to run autonomous and human-driven vehicles side by side on its platform, and has partnered with Nvidia on AV compute and simulation infrastructure.
