Uber Technologies and the Rivian robotaxi bet: the app wants to be the showroom
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- On March 19, 2026, Uber announced a robotaxi deal with Rivian that includes up to $1.25B of investment and a long runway: deployments starting in 2028 through 2031.
- Uber’s autonomy play is platform-first: it wants to be the default place to hail rides, even if partners supply the self-driving vehicles.
- Uber’s 2025 results (reported February 2026) show it has the cash generation to fund big “optionality” bets without the old burn-rate panic.
