Uber’s Robotaxi Bet Gets a Hertz Boost as Earnings Loom
Uber will expand its robotaxi operations in San Francisco later this year, with Hertz’s Oro Mobility managing charging, maintenance, and depot staffing for its Lucid-Nuro autonomous fleet. Uber’s CTO said the company plans to equip some human-driven cars with sensors to collect road data for self-driving development. The moves come days before Uber’s Q1 results and signal a shift toward direct fleet operations.
