Uber partners with ex-Yandex self-driving group for robotaxis and robot delivery


Uber is teaming up with an ex-Russian self-driving company.

The company demonstrated a fully driverless vehicle at CES in Las Vegas in 2020 and then began testing self-driving cars in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The tie-up with Uber adds to the steady drumbeat of the ridehail giant’s partnerships as it seeks to become a clearinghouse for any company operating autonomous vehicles in the world. In addition to Avride, Uber has deals with Waymo, Motional, and WeRide for self-driving cars, and Serve, Cartken, and Nuro for delivery robots.
