Uber Technologies
Uber is pivoting from pure marketplace to AI infrastructure layer for autonomous vehicles. FY2025 gross bookings hit $193B (+22% YoY), revenue $46.3B, free cash flow $9.8B. In February 2026, Uber launched 'Uber Autonomous Solutions' targeting 15 cities by end-2026.
Scenarios
If even 10% of 3.8B quarterly trips run on autonomous vehicles by 2028, at higher margins with no driver payouts, EBITDA could triple from $8.7B annual run rate. Data licensing and AV software fees are structurally high-margin.
Waymo, Tesla Robotaxi, and Zoox could bypass Uber entirely and build direct consumer apps. Uber's 5-15% take rate shrinks if AV operators demand lower cuts.
Key Factors to Watch
- ●Uber Autonomous Solutions (Feb 2026) is the strategic bet — AV commercialization platform, not just a rider app
- ●202M MAU and $193B gross bookings generate irreplaceable real-world training data
- ●15-city AV deployment target by end-2026 is execution-dependent
