Visited Dubai and experienced our rapidly scaling deployment with @WeRide_ai - we are now at nearly 100 fully driverless vehicles in the UAE and scaling to double that by year end.

Looking forward to launching in Madrid next month - initially with safety drivers, but soon with a similar experience - fully driverless and with a dedicated autonomy tier in the app.

Manchester, we’re on our way! Today, we’re announcing that we’re partnering with @Verne_robotaxi and @PonyAI_tech to pilot autonomous vehicles in Manchester. Building on our service together in Zagreb, Gen-7 Robotaxis are now testing in Manchester.

We’re excited to take this first step toward making this technology accessible to people across the UK. 🇬🇧

My first Pod w/a family member - my cuz @apartovi @neo. Fun (although some of it wasn’t fun at the time …) to turn back the clock and run through the ups and downs of our career paths.

In "Confession" episode 2, Dara Khosrowshahi reveals a mistake from years ago that still bugs him. He opens up about hitting rock bottom as Uber CEO.

Dara and I are cousins and share many stories from growing up together. I love his candor and humility. Enjoy!

Great to host @gautam_adani, @jeet_adani1 from @AdaniOnline at @Uber. We’re partnered at 7 Adani airports, incl Navi Mumbai, that handle a quarter of India's air traffic. We talked about what’s next: AI, AVs + an even better airport experience for travelers across India, one of the world’s most exciting markets.

@jaminball Accurate in terms of cache reads (and writes) being a significant part of agentic session costs ... although Labs including @AnthropicAI are doing a great job in bringing cache read/write prices down to drive spend efficiency.

Next stop London: Today we’re announcing an expansion of our partnership with @PonyAI_tech to bring their Gen-7 Robotaxis to London, the latest step in our partnership together across Europe. The UK is a leader in transportation innovation and our partnership is an important part of bringing safe, accessible AV technology to riders in the capital.

We’re hungry for what comes next ⚽️!!

U4B has been one of the stars in our portfolio and thrilled to bring on the @ezCater team to continue the growth and increase penetration w/SMBs. More reasons to use @Uber!

[Andrew Macdonald @andrewgordonmac]

From food delivery to grocery, retail and now catering - we’re expanding what you can get through Uber

Excited to welcome @ezCater to Uber, helping restaurants grow and @Uber_Business customers better serve their employees and clients

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

Just took a @Uber ride in Europe’s first fully driverless AV service in Zagreb with @Verne_robotaxi and @PonyAI_Tech. No one behind the wheel! Congrats to @MateRimac and @MarkoPejkovic for bringing their bold vision to life. So much to come!

[dara khosrowshahi @dkhos]

Amazing energy today w the incredible @deliveryherocom team here in Berlin! Thrilled about what we can accomplish together.

[Andrew Macdonald @andrewgordonmac]

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 💪!!
