Uber and Rivian have signed a strategic agreement to deploy a fleet of 10,000 fully autonomous R2 robotaxis, with Uber committing up to $1.25 billion in milestone-based investments through 2031.
Initial commercial operations are planned for San Francisco and Miami in 2028, with the partnership targeting a rollout across 25 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The deal includes an initial $300 million commitment and an option to purchase up to 40,000 additional autonomous units starting in 2030.
The technical foundation centers on Rivian’s third-generation autonomy platform. The agreement adds Rivian to Uber’s expanding portfolio of AV partnerships, which now spans more than two dozen companies across ride-hailing, delivery, and freight.
