The companies plan to launch the partnership next year with a
dedicated number of Chevy Bolt-based autonomous vehicles. Once
launched, when an Uber rider requests a qualifying ride on the Uber
app, they may be presented with the option to have that trip
fulfilled by a Cruise autonomous vehicle.
“Cruise is on a mission to leverage driverless technology to
create safer streets and redefine urban life," said Marc Whitten,
CEO of Cruise. "We are excited to partner with Uber to bring the
benefits of safe, reliable, autonomous driving to even more people,
unlocking a new era of urban mobility."
“As the largest mobility and delivery platform, we believe Uber
can play an important role in helping to safely and reliably
introduce autonomous technology to consumers and cities around the
world,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber CEO. “We’re thrilled to
partner with Cruise and look forward to launching next year.”

About Uber
Uber’s mission is to create opportunity through movement. We
started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you get access to
a ride at the touch of a button? More than 52 billion trips later,
we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to
be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities,
Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new
possibilities.
About Cruise
In service of its vision for safer roadways, Cruise’s aspiration
is to build the world’s most advanced self-driving vehicles to
safely connect people with the places, things, and experiences they
care about.
As of June 2024, Cruise has resumed supervised autonomous
driving in Phoenix, AZ, Houston and Dallas, TX, in addition to its
ongoing testing in Dubai. Majority owned by General Motors since
2016, Cruise combines a culture of innovative technology and safety
with a history of manufacturing and automotive excellence. Cruise
has received funding from other leading companies and
investors—including Honda, Microsoft, T. Rowe Price, and
Walmart.
