Diesel prices have hit an all-time high of 644 and gasoline is about 10 cents off its May peak, raising the question of whether energy costs will start shocking company earnings. JB Hunt warned earlier this week that its bottom line is being hit by the swift rise in diesel prices, saying it expects a quarter-to-quarter profit decline of 5 to 10 percent because pricing cannot be adjusted quickly enough. PNC Asset Management Group CIO Amanda Agati said she does not expect energy costs to crack the trajectory of earnings growth, noting positive revisions coming into the end of the third quarter remain positive and largely broad-based. Agati said companies are scrambling to hedge in this environment and that margins have been impressive for years, but warned that if energy prices remain elevated a year from now, the story would be very different. The discussion comes as diesel sits just pennies away from an adjusted inflation record.

Delivery Hero's management and supervisory boards formally recommended on September 2, 2026, that shareholders accept Uber Technologies' takeover offer, moving the roughly $15 billion deal for the German food-delivery platform a step closer to completion. Under the agreement, Uber will pay €41.50 per share, implying an equity value of $14.8 billion, and Delivery Hero's second-largest shareholder, Prosus, has irrevocably committed to tender its 17% stake. The shareholder acceptance period runs until November 5. Uber already owned roughly 25% of Delivery Hero and expects the deal to increase non-GAAP EPS upon closing, with high-single-digit percentage accretion by the third year. The combined company would operate across 99 markets and generate $236 billion in pro forma gross bookings, though the transaction still requires regulatory approvals that could delay it or force concessions.

Uber Technologies Inc. and WeRide, together with AVOMO, have secured Spain's first national permit covering level 4 autonomous passenger vehicles, making Madrid the fourth city in the Uber-WeRide partnership. The permit was issued by Spain's Directorate General of Traffic and allows WeRide to test its GXR vehicles and conduct roadmapping throughout Madrid ahead of a commercial launch planned for year-end, starting with 20 vehicles each supervised by an in-car specialist in high-demand areas of Greater Madrid. The Uber-WeRide partnership plans to reach 15 cities globally by 2030, part of an Uber asset-light AV strategy that spans more than 30 partnerships, with Uber expecting to commit over $10 billion across AV investments, infrastructure, and vehicle offtake over the coming years. That multi-partner bet is under strain: Uber and Waymo confirmed in late June that their Phoenix partnership had ended, Waymo is reportedly considering a broader exit, and the NHTSA is investigating Uber AV partner Avride after multiple crashes, while Tesla ramps up its own Cybercab fleet and Waymo has raised $16 billion to accelerate independent growth. Hedge fund ownership was broadly stable, with holders slipping from 153 at the end of Q1 2026 to 151 at the end of Q2 2026, and short interest stood at only 2.29% of float as of August 31, 2026.

Grab Holdings Limited announced plans to complete the remaining approximately $900 million of its authorized share repurchase programs over the next 12 months, subject to market conditions and the trading price of its Class A ordinary shares. Full completion would bring Grab's cumulative repurchases since its first buyback program launched in 2024 to a total of almost $1.75 billion. The repurchases will be funded from existing cash reserves, with gross cash liquidity of $7.4 billion and net cash liquidity of $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2026. Chief financial officer Peter Oey said the company's conviction has strengthened, not softened, and that progress toward its 2028 targets gives it the visibility to commit capital at this scale. Grab currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Synergetic Auto Performance Public Company Limited, or ASAP, is preparing to establish an electric vehicle assembly plant for the MAXUS brand in Thailand, with operations expected to begin around the middle of next year. Chief Executive Officer Songwit Thitipunya disclosed that the company is currently negotiating the selection of three to four potential sites for the plant and is in discussions with its MAXUS partner from China to finalize the investment structure and shareholding proportions. Assembly of EVs will begin in CKD form, after an initial phase of importing fully built electric vehicles to market in the country. The plan falls under the MAXUS brand, with Evante Company Limited, part of the group, serving as the sole distributor of commercial electric vehicles in Thailand, in order to accommodate growth in the EV market and reduce reliance on imports of completely built-up vehicles. The company assesses that Thailand's electric vehicle market will continue to expand, forecasting a growth rate of approximately 5% compared with the previous year.

Uber Technologies and Costco have significantly expanded their U.S. partnership, making Costco delivery through Uber Eats available to millions of additional customers across 47 states, up from 17 states previously. Nearly 600 Costco locations are now accessible through the Uber Eats platform, offering both on-demand and scheduled delivery of fresh produce, bulk groceries, household essentials and Costco-exclusive merchandise. As part of the expanded partnership, eligible Costco members can receive a 50% discount on an annual Uber One membership during the first year, followed by a 20% discount in subsequent years, while participating Costco stores and Costco.com will offer Uber and Uber Eats gift cards worth $100 for $79.99 for a limited period. Consumers can also purchase a Costco membership directly through Uber Eats for a limited time and receive 30% off their first eligible Costco order, and Uber One members can access delivery without Uber fees on eligible grocery and retail orders exceeding $60. The U.S. expansion builds on the companies' existing international relationship, with Costco also available through Uber Eats in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, France and Spain.

Grab has signed definitive agreements with Atome Financial, Advance Intelligence Group and other parties to acquire a controlling 60% stake in Atome Financial for $1.49bn in cash. The deal would fold Atome Financial's buy now, pay later loans, consumer cash loans, BNPL cards and digital lending into Grab's financial services unit, which spans payments, digital banks, partner lending, insurance and consumer lending. Atome Financial operates in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand and has 25 million cumulative transacted users, while Grab reaches nearly 54 million Monthly Transacting Users and Atome Financial's network covers more than 30,000 brands. Grab said the $1.49 billion cash consideration includes $0.26bn in primary growth capital as Phase 1, and the transaction is due to close by the third quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. After completion, Grab will consolidate Atome Financial into its Financial Services segment, with Atome Financial's management team remaining in place to oversee the business.

More than 500 customers across nearly every segment of the American freight economy have publicly backed the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern combination, with support growing through recent Surface Transportation Board filings. Recent filings included more than 150 new letters from customers, first responder organizations, community leaders and elected officials, adding to the more than 2,000 statements submitted with the railroads' amended application. Twenty-three new shippers from industries including agriculture, energy, fertilizer, forest products, food and automotive cited benefits of a single, integrated coast-to-coast rail network, including expanded market access, stronger supply chains, improved reliability and new growth opportunities. Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern say the combined railroad, described as America's first seamless coast-to-coast freight rail network, is expected to generate approximately $3.5 billion in annual savings and shift an estimated 2.1 million truckloads from highways to rail each year. The transaction remains subject to Surface Transportation Board review and approval, with the two companies expecting completion in the third or fourth quarter of 2027.

Costco Wholesale and Uber Technologies are sharply expanding their U.S. delivery partnership, making Costco available through Uber Eats in 47 states and nearly 600 warehouses, up from 17 states previously. Costco members can now order groceries, fresh produce, household essentials, bulk products and Costco-exclusive merchandise through Uber Eats for either scheduled or on-demand delivery, entering their membership information at checkout to access member pricing while Uber handles ordering, delivery scheduling and real-time tracking. The companies are also tying the expansion to their membership programs: eligible Costco members can receive 50% off an annual Uber One membership in the first year and 20% off in following years, participating Costco locations and Costco.com will temporarily offer $100 Uber or Uber Eats gift cards for $79.99, customers who buy a Costco membership through Uber Eats can receive 30% off their first qualifying Costco order, and Uber One members receive no Uber fees on eligible grocery and retail orders above $60. Costco already works with Uber Eats internationally in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, France and Spain. Uber COO Andrew Macdonald said the nationwide partnership demonstrates the scale and opportunity Uber can bring to retailers looking to meet more of consumers' everyday shopping needs.

Costco Wholesale Corp. has expanded its Uber Eats partnership to 47 states from 17, bringing delivery from nearly 600 warehouses onto the platform. Customers can order Costco's full assortment through Uber Eats, with members verifying their membership before purchasing. The partnership goes beyond delivery: some Costco members will receive discounts on Uber One, and shoppers will be able to buy Costco memberships directly through the Uber Eats app. Costco gains another way to reach customers who expect groceries and household products at their door, while Uber gains one of America's largest retailers as it pushes Eats beyond restaurant delivery. Competition is intensifying, with DoorDash, Instacart and Amazon already competing heavily for grocery orders and Walmart expanding its own delivery ambitions.

Canadian National Railway's U.S. subsidiaries have reached an agreement with Amtrak to resolve a decade-long dispute over passenger service delays, equipment issues, and late station departures. Canadian National Railway is the parent company of U.S. rail subsidiaries Illinois Central Railroad Company and Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company, which own the lines Amtrak uses for intercity routes including the City of New Orleans, Illini, Saluki, and Wolverine. The dispute centered on Amtrak blaming CNI for prioritizing freight over passenger routes, while CNI blamed Amtrak for freight delays tied to equipment issues or late station departures, and CNI had pushed proposals to the Surface Transportation Board that would hold Amtrak financially responsible for delays. Under their eight-year operating agreement, the two sides agreed to a revised performance payment system more closely aligned to the Federal Railroad Administration's on-time performance standard, regular reviews of Amtrak's schedules, and a process to address operational issues and resolve disputes, and they will also work together to equip Amtrak trains with Onboard Shunt Enhancers. Canadian National COO Patrick Whitehead said the company is pleased to have reached agreements that allow it to move forward with a clear framework for safely and efficiently sharing its network, adding that together with the deployment of OSE technology, these agreements will support safer grade crossings and reliable passenger and freight service. Although the agreement ends the decade-long dispute, Canadian National shares are lower as the negotiations highlight the railroad's persistent on-time performance challenges.

CN's U.S. rail subsidiaries and Amtrak have reached agreements that strengthen their partnership and support safe, reliable passenger and freight service on CN's U.S. rail network. The parties signed a new eight-year operating agreement governing Amtrak service on CN-owned rail lines, resolving a more than decade-long proceeding before the Surface Transportation Board concerning terms and conditions for Amtrak services such as the City of New Orleans, Illini/Saluki, and Wolverine. The agreement establishes a revised performance payment system more closely aligned with the Federal Railroad Administration's on-time performance standard, regular reviews of Amtrak's schedules, and processes to address operational issues and resolve disputes. In addition, the parties will work together on a process for Amtrak to equip its trains operating on CN's network with Onboard Shunt Enhancers, a technology that improves how trains are detected as they approach rail grade crossings and helps ensure crossing warning systems activate when they should. Installation of the OSEs is supported through FRA funding and builds on more than a decade of research and testing led by CN, Amtrak and the FRA.

UBS upgraded Union Pacific to a Buy rating on Wednesday, lifting the rail stock from Neutral. Analyst Thomas Wadewitz said the firm's analysis of key customer markets points to a second year of strong volume growth setting up for Union Pacific in 2027, with low inventories signaling further growth in steel volumes and elevated energy prices expected to keep supporting the petroleum and products segment. Wadewitz and his team forecast EPS of $13.41 for 2026 and $14.90 for 2027, both above consensus. UBS sees the combination of solid EPS delivery and optionality on a potential merger with Norfolk Southern supporting attractive upside over the next 12 months, though Wadewitz expects the regulatory review process to be challenging with an uncertain outcome. Shares of Union Pacific rose 0.5% to $285.39 at 11:59 a.m., against a 52-week high of $315.99.

UBS upgraded Union Pacific Corp. to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $339 from $310, sending the shares up 1.57% in premarket trading. The new target sits roughly 19% above current prices. The firm forecasts earnings of $13.41 per share in 2026 and $14.90 in 2027, running 3% and 5% above consensus, and models 2028 earnings of $16.15 per share against roughly $13.60 implied by the current price at 21x earnings. UBS expects 10% EBIT growth in 2027 and projects 3.5% volume growth that year, with intermodal up 6% to 7% on current trends and the relationship between intermodal performance and the truckload pricing cycle. The firm said low inventories should lift steel volumes while elevated energy prices support petroleum and products, and noted that rail pricing typically lags truck, pointing to stronger pricing for Union Pacific and making price and mix against inflation a neutral rather than a headwind.

SK Hynix is in talks with Intel about a deal that would see the South Korean memory chip maker manufacture memory chips in the US for the first time, according to a Reuters report. SK Hynix responded that it is exploring options to boost its global competitiveness but said no deal has been made with Intel. Intel shares rose about 4% in premarket trading, making it the most actively traded stock, as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has urged SK Hynix and other Asian chipmakers to start making chips in the US to help address the global shortage. Separately, JB Hunt shares slid 11% after the trucking company flagged rising costs and issued a rare earnings warning at a Morgan Stanley conference, saying it expects second quarter to third quarter earnings to drop 5 to 10% and that higher costs from ramped-up hiring, bigger signing bonuses and raises will cost it $25 million more in the third quarter than in the second quarter. Brookfield Capital agreed to buy Australian plumbing products company Reliance Worldwide in a deal valuing the company at $2.8 billion, or $3.38 a share.

SK Hynix and Intel shares each rose more than 2.5% premarket after a Reuters report that SK Hynix was in talks with Intel to manufacture memory chips in the U.S. for the first time, though SK Hynix said no decisions have been made regarding any partnership with Intel. J.B. Hunt Transport Services tumbled more than 11% after warning that its earnings may fall between 5% and 10% in the third quarter compared to the previous three-month period, a decline it attributed to internal adjustments for rising rates of purchase transportation. Expedia fell more than 2.5% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to underweight, citing a weak risk/reward profile and greater exposure to a potentially weaker consumer. Energy stocks moved lower as U.S. oil prices fell 2% following a report that energy inventories rose last week, with Diamondback Energy down almost 4%, Occidental Petroleum off 1%, and ExxonMobil and Devon Energy each down almost 1%. Paychex rose more than 1% on a Wolfe Research upgrade to peer perform, while Union Pacific gained 1.5% after UBS upgraded the stock to buy.

Uber Technologies CEO Dara Khosrowshahi purchased 141,000 shares at an average price of roughly $70.96 per share, a transaction totaling just over $10 million that leaves him holding roughly 1.4 million shares. The buy came alongside Uber's latest quarterly results, which showed Gross Bookings climbing 24% year over year to $58 billion and revenue rising 12% to $14.2 billion, while Trips grew 18% to 3.9 billion and Monthly Active Platform Consumers rose 16%. Adjusted EBITDA jumped 33% to $2.8 billion and operating income climbed 40%, with free cash flow of $2.8 billion pushing trailing twelve-month FCF above $10 billion for the first time in the company's history. Other chief executives also stepped up: GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen bought 1 million shares at an average price of roughly $20.38, a transaction totaling nearly $20.4 million that leaves him directly holding more than 39.3 million shares, and Celsius CEO John Fieldly purchased 18,000 shares at an average price of roughly $27.44, a transaction totaling just under $500,000 that brings his direct holdings to more than 956,000 shares.

Grab Holdings has agreed to acquire a controlling 60% stake in Atome Financial for $1.49B in cash, expanding its digital lending business across Southeast Asia. The transaction includes $260M of primary growth capital and is expected to close by the third quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, after which Grab will consolidate Atome Financial into its Financial Services segment. Atome Financial, the digital financial services platform of Advance Intelligence Group, offers buy now, pay later loans, consumer cash loans, BNPL cards and digital lending across Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, and has served 25M cumulative transacted users. Grab has also agreed to acquire the remaining 40% stake approximately two years after the Phase 1 closing, with that second transaction based on Atome Financial's performance rather than a fixed price, using a valuation formula based on annualized adjusted EBITDA and revenue. The resulting equity valuation will have a floor of $2B and a cap of $4.5B, with at least 50% of the consideration payable in cash.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said savings from the company's recent layoffs could be reinvested into lower prices for riders. Earlier this month, the rideshare company said it was eliminating 10% of its workforce, or about 3,300 people, in its largest round of cuts since the pandemic. Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, Khosrowshahi said Uber will take those savings and reinvest them back in the business, lowering prices, improving selection, and continuing to invest in its growth program. He also said Uber's commercial insurance costs, which had increased by more than 50% per ride in the U.S. mobility business over the past few years through the first quarter of 2025, have now reversed, and some of those insurance savings are being reinvested into lower consumer prices. Those savings, combined with a barbell strategy that uses excess margins from higher-end products like Uber Black to fund lower-cost offerings, could mean cheaper rides or more ways for customers to save through special offers such as the Wait & Save program. Shares of Uber jumped nearly 2% after the layoffs were announced, though the stock is down about 12.5% year-to-date amid analyst concerns over competition from autonomous vehicle companies, including Waymo's plan to offer rides through its own app alongside Uber starting in 2028.

Old Dominion Freight Line's Oct. 16, 2026 $90.00 Put carried some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options, signaling that options traders are pricing in a big move for the stock. The trucking company currently holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) in the Transportation - Truck industry, which ranks in the Top 17% of the Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, five analysts raised their earnings estimates for the current quarter while one cut, lifting the Zacks Consensus Estimate to $1.60 per share from $1.54. Given that analyst sentiment, the elevated implied volatility could point to a trade developing, with many seasoned options traders seeking high implied volatility to sell premium and capture decay, hoping the underlying stock moves less than originally expected.

Lyft has begun offering Waymo's fully autonomous robotaxi rides directly through its app in Nashville, the first market where Waymo vehicles can be booked through both the Waymo and Lyft apps. Lyft users requesting Standard, Priority Pickup, Wait & Save, or Extra Comfort rides within the designated Nashville service area can be matched with a Waymo vehicle at no additional cost. The rollout also expands Lyft's role in the autonomous-vehicle ecosystem through its Flexdrive subsidiary, which will manage charging, cleaning and maintenance for Waymo's fleet, with a new 80,000-square-foot facility supporting more than 70 full-time positions. Reuters previously reported that the Nashville partnership was intended to become Waymo's first commercial deployment through Lyft's ride-hailing network. The immediate financial impact could remain limited because Waymo availability on Lyft is initially restricted and the service carries no rider surcharge, while the longer-term risk is that wider robotaxi adoption pressures Lyft's traditional driver-based business and that Waymo could eventually prioritize its own customer platform.

GameStop chief executive Ryan Cohen and Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi each made discretionary open-market purchases of their own companies' stock on September 10, 2026, spending roughly $20 million and $10 million respectively. Cohen, reporting as director, president, CEO and board chair of GameStop, acquired 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at $20.3759, while director Alain Attal bought 5,000 shares at $20.00 the same day. Khosrowshahi, as director and chief executive of Uber, acquired 141,000 shares of common stock at $70.9642. On both SEC Form 4 filings, the box indicating the trade was executed under a prearranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan was left unmarked, meaning the purchases were discretionary; transaction code P, an open-market buy, is the rarest insider action and carries no routine explanation such as tax withholding or diversification. Cohen bought into a rebounding GameStop, where Q2 FY2026 collectibles revenue surged 57% year over year to $356.3 million and management raised FY2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to more than $650 million, while Khosrowshahi bought into an Uber drawdown, with the stock down 24.3% over the past year even as Q2 FY2026 gross bookings rose 24% year on year to $58.02 billion and the consensus analyst target price stands at $101.21.

Daqin Railway announced on the evening of September 14 that it had repurchased 12.4915 million shares for the first time that day through the Shanghai Stock Exchange trading system via centralized bidding, accounting for 0.0629% of the company's total share capital of 19.863 billion shares. The highest repurchase price was 4.83 yuan per share and the lowest was 4.78 yuan per share, with total funds paid of 59.99995 million yuan excluding transaction fees. The buyback plan was approved at the second meeting of the company's eighth board of directors on August 3, 2026, and at the second extraordinary shareholders' meeting of 2026 on August 20. The repurchase amount is between 400 million yuan and 500 million yuan, with a price ceiling of 7.10 yuan per share. The repurchased shares will be cancelled to reduce the company's registered capital, and the implementation period is within six months from the date of shareholder approval, from August 20, 2026, to February 19, 2027. The company said it will implement further repurchases within the buyback period based on market conditions and fulfill information disclosure obligations in a timely manner. The 2026 semi-annual report released the same day showed that the company achieved operating revenue of 39.597 billion yuan in the first half of the year, up 6.20% year on year. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 4.255 billion yuan, up 3.40% year on year. The company plans to distribute a cash dividend of 0.08 yuan per share before tax, totaling 1.589 billion yuan, accounting for 37.35% of first-half net profit attributable to the parent company.

Surapong Laoha-Unya, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the MOVE business line at BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited, or BTS, told the Stock Vision news team that total rail system ridership continues to grow even as the overall economy slows. The Green Line, both the northern and southern sections, averages more than 800,000 passengers per day, and when the Green Line, Pink Line, and Yellow Line are combined, total system ridership stands at about 1 million passengers per day. The Yellow Line continues to show improving growth, while the Pink Line has seen ridership rise to nearly 100,000 passengers per day. The company is pressing ahead with marketing and promotion strategies, including new ticket products such as monthly passes and tickets valid for a set number of days, and is organizing events along rail routes to generate revenue during event periods. In the advertising business on the Pink and Yellow lines, the focus is on train wrap advertising. The Mix & Match business is trending better this year. For business expansion, BTS sees opportunities in the country's rail infrastructure, aiming to expand in Bangkok, the surrounding provinces, and the regions, and is open to both public-private partnership models, or PPP, and contracts to manage and operate trains. It is especially interested in the Phuket rail project. As for the U-Tapao airport project, work is under way to push forward the portions that can proceed immediately without waiting solely for the high-speed rail link connecting three airports to be ready, since the project has already been running for more than six years.

Uber Technologies announced on September 2 that it will cut roughly 10% of its global corporate workforce, about 3,300 of its 34,000 employees, its largest layoffs since the pandemic. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told employees the changes are designed to make Uber simpler and faster and to create more capacity to invest in the future, including the company's previously announced plan to spend more than $10 billion on autonomous vehicles in the coming years. The cuts target organizational bloat specifically: teams of one or two direct reports will shrink by roughly half, and employees more than seven reporting layers from the CEO will be reduced by 20%. Uber is also combining its engineering, science, and delivery divisions and concentrating staff in hubs like New York and San Francisco, with only about 1% of employees permitted to keep working remotely. Khosrowshahi did not cite AI as a reason for the cuts, unlike Meta's recent layoffs.

Grab reported 22% revenue growth and 54% EBITDA expansion in the second quarter, outpacing Uber, whose 12% reported growth was dragged down by business model changes. Grab's fintech loan book surged 197% to $2.3 billion, and analysts lifted their FY2026 EPS estimate for Grab to $0.1338 from $0.0836 in just 30 days. Grab shares sit 40% below year-to-date highs, down 39.68%, versus an 11.22% decline for Uber, which carries a roughly $148.17 billion market cap against Grab's approximately $11.96 billion. Grab authorized a new $750 million buyback, while Uber repurchased $518 million in the quarter and is funding $10 billion in autonomous-vehicle investments plus roughly $4 billion deployed toward Delivery Hero shares. Grab's quarter included a $307 million one-time gain from remeasuring Superbank, which reached 7.4 million customers, and management guided the fintech loan book above $3 billion by year end.

Uber Technologies, WeRide and AVOMO, the autonomous vehicle division of Moove Cars Group, have secured Spain's first national permit for Level 4 autonomous passenger vehicles to operate on public roads, granted by Spain's Directorate General of Traffic under the ES-AV framework with support from the Regional Government of Madrid. The authorization, WeRide's ninth autonomous-driving permit globally, covers an initial phase of 20 vehicles equipped with WeRide's latest autonomous-driving technology, operating in high-demand areas across Greater Madrid under the supervision of in-car vehicle specialists, and marks the first EU national approval for WeRide's GXR autonomous vehicle. Commercial operations in Spain are expected to commence by the end of 2026, subject to deployment preparations and operational and regulatory requirements. The planned rollout marks WeRide and Uber's joint entry into Spain and Madrid's inclusion as the fourth of 15 cities covered by their strategic partnership, with the companies planning to expand into another 11 cities by 2030 and eventually deploy tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles on public roads worldwide. Uber currently works with more than 30 autonomous-vehicle partners across mobility, delivery and freight, collectively completing millions of autonomous trips annually, and expects to facilitate such journeys in as many as 15 cities by the end of 2026, aiming to become the world's largest facilitator of autonomous trips by 2029.
