Uber

Having failed to build its own self-driving car, Uber became the sector's distribution layer instead — and in Europe it is the single most important actor, because almost every launch reaches the public through its app. The strategy's risk is symmetrical: Waymo sells through Uber in two cities and bypasses it in thirteen.

Where Uber is live

Every city on the tracker that Uber touches — as operator, as the app the ride is sold in, or as the stack underneath. A dot marks a city, not a service area.

  • Driverless & paidOpen to the public, fares charged, nobody in the driver's seat.
  • Paid, operator onboardAnyone can book and pay, but a trained operator rides along.
  • Pilot — invite or freeReal passengers, but gated by waitlist, invitation, or no fare.
  • Road testingVehicles on public roads; mapping or staff-only rides, no public passengers.
  • AnnouncedCommitted city with a date or a permit, not yet driving passengers.

Europe — 6 cities where Uber appears, coloured by Uber's own stage in each, not the city's. Countries are shaded by the furthest-along robotaxi service Uber has there, because in Europe the permit is national.

Boundaries from Natural Earth (public domain). Status is Uber's own stage in that city: a city can be driverless for a competitor and testing-only here.
