Uber & Rivian's Robotaxi Pact: A Billion-Dollar Bet

from The Daily News Now! Business

Ubers massive order of 10,000 Rivian R2 SUVs for robotaxis, with plans for 40,000 more, marks a significant shift in Rivians focus from delivery vans to autonomous electric rides. This deal injects over $1 billion into Rivian over five years, challenging Teslas robotaxi dominance and potentially boosting Rivians stock on autonomy hype. Rivians R2 production, equipped with advanced driver assistance, will be scaled up by Ubers fleet, providing valuable feedback by late this decade.
