“Uber Autonomous Solutions is designed to complement their strengths by providing operational depth wherever they need it–whether that’s demand generation, rider experience, customer support, or managing the day-to-day realities of running a real-world fleet,” said Sarfraz Maredia, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility and Delivery.
