On October 22, 2025, Uber Technologies announced a strategic investment of up to $375 million in Avride, a Texas‑based autonomous‑driving technology developer. The investment, alongside commercial commitments from Nebius Group, is part of Uber’s broader strategy to expand its autonomous mobility portfolio.

The deal builds on a multi‑year partnership signed in 2024 and will fund the launch of Avride’s robotaxi service on the Uber platform, slated for Dallas by the end of 2025. Avride’s technology, which includes advanced sensor fusion and real‑time decision‑making, is expected to enable higher utilization rates and lower operating costs for Uber’s driverless fleet.

This investment positions Uber to accelerate its transition to a fully autonomous ride‑hailing network, potentially reducing driver costs and increasing service availability in high‑density markets. The partnership also signals Uber’s commitment to maintaining a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving autonomous vehicle ecosystem.
