## Summary

Uber is introducing autonomous vehicles (AVs) on its app in selected sections of Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, and Las Vegas, as part of a hybrid marketplace that includes both AVs and drivers. Availability is limited by geography and time of day, monitored during each rollout, and expected to change over time. Riders requesting UberX, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric may be matched with an AV and can adjust app settings to increase their chances; some trips may initially include a specialist from an autonomous partner who can take over if needed. The company says AVs are intended to complement drivers, helping meet demand during busy periods or where fewer drivers are available. Uber expects minimal driver impact and says expanding rider engagement will create more opportunities for drivers.

## Context

Uber is building a hybrid marketplace in which autonomous vehicles and drivers serve customers. The rollout responds to rider demand while retaining earning opportunities for drivers, with AV availability currently limited to parts of certain cities and specific times of day.

## Approach / What changed

Uber and its partners are introducing AVs in selected city sections through the Uber app. Eligible UberX, Uber Comfort, and Uber Comfort Electric riders may be matched with an AV, can adjust settings to increase their chances, and may initially have an autonomous-partner specialist onboard who can take over if needed.

## Takeaways

- AV availability currently covers sections of Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, and Las Vegas, rather than entire cities or the full network.
- Riders can receive an AV when requesting UberX, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric, subject to availability and their app settings.
- Some initial AV trips may include a specialist from an autonomous partner to monitor the vehicle and take over driving if needed.
