Uber aims to be the leading company in facilitating autonomous trips by the year 2029, which means they will not necessarily own the entire vehicle fleet, but will enable the option to carry out the journeys and manage them with the client. "We are entering 2026 with rapid revenue growth, significant cash flow, and a clear path to becoming the world's largest facilitator of travel in autonomous vehicles," assured Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO.
