Uber and Momenta to test autonomous vehicles in Germany in 2026

Uber has formed a partnership with Momenta, a global autonomous vehicle (AV) company, to test self-driving vehicles in Germany by 2026. This collaboration is part of Uber's broader strategy to work with 20 global AV partners across its ridehail, delivery, and freight businesses. The partnership aims to leverage Momenta's expertise in autonomous technology to enhance Uber's mobility and delivery services. According to Uber, the existing partnerships have already generated an annualized rate of 1.5 million mobility and delivery transactions. The testing of autonomous vehicles in Germany is a significant step forward for Uber's AV ambitions, as the company seeks to integrate self-driving technology into its operations to improve efficiency and customer experience. The timeline of 2026 suggests that Uber and Momenta will work towards readying the technology for real-world deployment in the near future.
