Uber launches an ‘AV Labs’ division to gather driving data for robotaxi partners

Uber is not developing its own robotaxis again; instead it plans to collect and offer data. It’s a bet that more volume will help autonomous vehicle partners solve the weirdest edge cases.

This is Uber’s new robotaxi from Lucid and Nuro

The production-intent version, unveiled at CES 2026 on Monday, will be an exceptionally roomy entry into the growing robotaxi market later this year.
