On Friday, Uber revealed its latest autonomous vehicle partnership, leveraging its strong position in the ride-hailing and delivery markets while relying on partners to provide the self-driving technology it does not develop in-house. This time, the partner is Chinese self-driving company Momenta.

This collaboration comes just a day after Uber added May Mobility, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to its list of autonomous vehicle collaborators, which already includes notable names such as Volkswagen, Waymo, Wayve, WeRide, and several others.

According to Uber, Momenta’s robotaxis will be integrated into the app, initially in Europe, starting early 2026, with safety operators onboard.

Xudong Cao, CEO of Momenta, expressed that this partnership “completes the key ecosystem needed to scale autonomous driving globally.”

Uber’s numerous partnerships, which also extend into trucking and delivery, come at a time when the company may anticipate facing potential competition from Tesla, which plans to launch its first robotaxi service in Austin this summer. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has pledged that all Tesla vehicles will eventually become fully self-driving vehicles, usable for ride-hailing, with just a software update.

Uber previously had its own self-driving unit but sold the division to Aurora Innovation in 2020.
