Uber is cutting roughly 3,300 jobs as it shifts focus toward integrating autonomous vehicles into its ride-hailing services, reflecting growing pressure from competitors like Waymo and the rise of self-driving taxi technology. The move signals a major restructuring as the company adapts to a future where human drivers may play a smaller role in its operations. Industry analysts suggest the decision underscores both the challenges of scaling robotaxis and Uber’s need to streamline operations amid intensifying competition. Employees and investors will be watching closely to see how the layoffs reshape the company’s workforce and long-term strategy.
