Uber Technologies is cutting roughly 3,300 jobs as it shifts focus toward the emerging threat of autonomous vehicle services, including competitors like Waymo, and positions itself for a future dominated by robotaxis. The move reflects the company’s strategic pivot amid intensifying rivalry in the self-driving transportation space, where traditional ride-hailing models face disruption. Industry analysts suggest the layoffs signal Uber’s effort to streamline operations ahead of a major transition in how rides are delivered. Employees and investors will be watching closely as the company balances cost-cutting with its ambitious plans for a driverless fleet.
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.
