Uber and partner Momenta will start testing robotaxis in Europe next year


Uber and its new partner Momenta will start testing an autonomous ride-sharing service in Europe in 2026.

The companies chose Munich to kick off the operation due to the city's "deep-rooted engineering heritage, top-tier automotive ecosystem and openness to innovation," Momenta said. Momenta was one of China's first autonomous vehicle companies and has been testing self-driving cars in the nation since 2018, with plans to roll out a commercial operation at its base in Shanghai next year. It also has a deal with UK-based Wayve to launch self-driving ride sharing trials in London next year, and recently said it would offer ride-sharing services in Los Angeles using an autonomous version of Volkswagen's ID.
