Uber

The company is starting to offer an innovative ride service in the app based on breakthrough technology, though a safety operator will still be present in the vehicle during the initial phase.

Uber is cutting 3,300 jobs, approximately 10% of its global workforce, to streamline management layers. The move aims to reallocate resources toward ride-sharing, delivery, and autonomous taxi divisions.

Major autonomous driving companies are preparing to deploy their robotaxis in Las Vegas after the state of Nevada approved applications from Tesla, Uber, and Waymo to provide services in Clark County.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined Uber 825 million euros for using automated systems to suspend driver accounts without providing proper notification.

Uber and Waymo are shifting their partnership model: Waymo will launch its own app in Austin and Atlanta in January 2028, while maintaining availability on the Uber platform until at least May 2028.
