Uber partners with Chinese autonomous vehicle companies Pony AI, Momenta, and WeRide to expand robotaxi services in Europe and the Middle East.
The partnerships aim to increase Uber's presence in emerging markets and reassure investors amidst competition and challenges.
Chinese AV firms like WeRide and Pony AI are already operating commercial services in various countries, showing international expansion.
Uber's collaboration with Chinese companies opens up opportunities for growth in new markets, including the Middle East, expanding beyond its existing presence in countries like the UAE and Jordan.
