Uber is cutting roughly 3,300 jobs as it shifts strategy toward a future dominated by autonomous vehicles, signaling a major restructuring amid growing competition from self-driving services. The move reflects the company’s push to adapt to emerging robotaxi technology, which threatens to disrupt its traditional ride-hailing model. Industry analysts suggest the layoffs will streamline operations ahead of a potential transition to driverless fleets. Workers in roles tied to human-driven services may face the greatest impact as Uber reallocates resources toward autonomous vehicle integration.
Uber Technologies will eliminate about 3,300 positions as the ride-hailing giant responds to mounting competition from autonomous vehicle operators like Waymo and prepares for a robotaxi future.
