Big news!

@Costco is now available nationwide on @UberEats 🛒 🇺🇸

This one has great personal meaning to me (on top of tremendous impact for Uber and our customers)

[Andrew Macdonald @andrewgordonmac]

London is live 🇬🇧
Autonomous rides powered by @wayve_ai are now on the @Uber app in the UK! British-built tech, developed on London's roads, now in the hands of everyday riders
Our model is simple: partner with the best AV tech in the world, pair it with Uber's scale, distribution and operating muscle. @Wayve_ai is that model in action
Hybrid is the future - AVs and human drivers, side by side. 30+ AV partners globally and counting. More to come

@TheRideshareGuy We're building the agent to optimize for the driver and not Uber. Will win trust based on performance.

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

We've been rolling out AI-driven customer service and closely monitoring interactions (not perfect but v encouraging trends). This conversation w/our driver assistant was one of my favorites:

Big time innovation in AI going on @Uber - not just in using AI to improve our business/services but also scaling up cost effectively & safely.

[Praveen Neppalli @praveenTweets]

Since I previously shared how we are scaling AI usage so quickly without costs rising at the same rate, there’s been a lot of interest in the engineering details.

So I asked the team to open up the hood and share what we’ve learned.

One thing we’ve always been very good at @Uber is understanding the economics of a system at a deep level. And I’ve always believed that constraints drive innovation. We took the opportunity to turn the cost problem into an engineering problem. We broke AI spend down into its underlying levers and started systematically attacking each one:

• Scaling vendor-neutral managed agents
• Building Uber SWE benchmarks to measure what actually works
• Optimizing prompt caching
• Making tool and MCP usage more efficient
• Grounding trajectories in our context graph
• Building efficient, reusable agent skills
• Giving engineers real-time cost visibility and optimization tips

There’s a lot more work to do in this space: scaling more autonomous agents, dynamic model routing, a self-evolving context graph, and continuously updating efficient agent skills. There's still a tremendous amount to invent here, and we’ll keep sharing what we learn as we build and deploy it at Uber.

This is an incredible time to be an engineer. The economics of software are changing, the way we build is changing, and engineers have an opportunity to help define what comes next.

Love this new feature - live video streaming for @Uber Teen accounts is rolling out nationwide – giving parents more visibility while their teens are on the go and right in time for school. Proud of our tech teams for making this happen - https://t.co/V0yvu9B1EU

Busy week for autonomous @Uber!

🚁 Partnership with @Zipline for drone delivery
🚗 @PonyAI_tech launch with Verne in Zagreb
🇬🇧 Early rider testing in London with @Wayve_ai
🇦🇪 Driverless in Dubai with @BaiduApollo
🤖 @CocoRobotics coming to Helsinki
🎰 Nevada L4 permit secured for @Motionaldrive and @Zoox in Las Vegas

Congrats to the team and our amazing partners. Let the scaling continue 🚀

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

@DentonBaird @Keller @zipline Strong wardrobe game but the US flags are even better 🇺🇸!

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

I've known and admired @Keller for what he's built for years - his product has been battle-tested in the most challenging of circumstances. Drone delivery @UberEats promises to take what has been a delightful experience to truly magical again. Now is the time to scale (production, network, unit costs) - something we're pretty good at 💪!!

Japan has been a terrific market for us - first in Delivery and now increasingly Mobility - excited for this next step!

[Uber @Uber]

We are bringing robotaxis to the streets of Japan! 🇯🇵

By the end of 2026, riders in Tokyo will be able to experience the next generation of mobility right from the Uber app.

We’re teaming up with @TAXI_HINOMARU, @NissanMotor, and @wayve_ai to launch our autonomous vehicle pilot. Together, we’re ready to transform how people move around one of the world's most dynamic cities!

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

Building is fun.

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

@Jason We’re going to make it happen … and much more.

[Balaji Krishnamurthy @_balaji_km]

.@Uber Q2’26 earnings are out — another exceptional quarter:

✅Gross Bookings up 22%, fourth straight quarter above 20%
✅Non-GAAP EPS up 35% to $0.81
✅Record high consumer and driver base
🥇More first-time users over the past 12 months than in any period over the past 5 years
⚽8M+ tourists took rides across host cities during the World Cup

We're executing with discipline today, while building the capabilities that we believe will define Uber's next decade of growth.

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

Great progress - v excited to be partnering with @nvidia here.

[Jensen Huang @JensenHuang]

Today, we’re launching Alpamayo 2 Super, our frontier open reasoning model for autonomous vehicles.

Beyond seeing, Alpamayo understands and reasons through the complex world - thinks before it acts.

It’s a powerful backbone for robotaxis, trucks, shuttles, delivery vans, tractors and the long tail of mobile robots—billions of autonomous machines someday.

We’re releasing it for commercial use under OpenMDW-1.1 so teams can inspect it, fine-tune it and deploy it—open models advance safety and security.

The next wave of AI is robotics—and it starts with autonomous vehicles.

Great work, Alpamayo team!

Congrats to our friends at @zoox! Exciting milestone, and great to see NHTSA continue to take a thoughtful approach to supporting AV innovation.

[Praveen Neppalli @praveenTweets]

Earlier this week, our @UberEng teams came together for Dispatch—an incredible day of collaboration, learning, and connecting across our engineering sites around the world.

We had an outstanding fireside chat with @bcherny, creator of Claude Code, alongside Uber's @hudaman. Their conversation explored how AI is fundamentally changing software development—not by replacing engineers, but by enabling them to solve harder problems, move faster, and build in entirely new ways.

Having grown up at @Uber, one lesson has shaped how I think about building: the biggest impact comes from obsessing over hard, meaningful problems that matter to the business. Some of our best engineers spent years solving problems at Uber scale, open-sourced the technologies they created, and changed the industry in the process. Many later went on to build category-defining companies.

It was a privilege to welcome back @SamarAtTemporal (Co-Founder & CEO of @temporalio), @martin_c_mao, (Co-Founder & CEO of @chronosphereio), and @byte_array (Founder & CEO of @Onehousehq). Their journeys all reinforce the same idea: don't start with "I want to build a company." Start with "I want to solve an important problem." Stay obsessed with it, keep building, and the rest can follow.

Huge thanks to everyone who presented, participated, and helped make Dispatch such an inspiring event. The energy, curiosity, and technical depth across our teams make me incredibly excited for what we'll build next.

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

BAEMIN, foodora, foodpanda, Glovo, Hungerstation, PedidosYa, talabat – incredible brands in incredible markets. Together we'll bring the power of delivery + mobility to millions more people across the world!

[Balaji Krishnamurthy @_balaji_km]

Our offer to acquire Delivery Hero exceeds the very high bar we set for M&A: a business that's ~10% of Uber's market cap, but adds ~20% to our trips and Gross Bookings and drives significant accretion post close. For Delivery, the transaction is transformational, roughly doubling our trip volumes and increasing GBs by nearly 50%.

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

New product idea?

[Uber @Uber]

The ultimate sync 🤝

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

Psyched to see more Lime bikes and scooters on the streets!

[Andrew Macdonald @andrewgordonmac]

Congrats to @Lime and @wayneting as they reach the public markets, the latest step toward Lime's mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free

We're looking forward to continuing to work with Lime to serve many more riders and cities as a public company

Congratulations Lime team on your IPO!
