Uber & May Mobility Announce Strategic Partnership to Scale Autonomous Vehicles

Uber Technologies, Inc. and May Mobility, Inc., a leading autonomous vehicle (AV) technology company, have announced a new multi-year strategic partnership. May Mobility aims to deploy thousands of AVs on the Uber platform over the next few years, with an initial launch planned for Arlington, Texas, by the end of 2025.

The new partnership brings together Uber, the global ride-hail market leader, and May Mobility to scale the availability of AV transportation in the US.

Under the agreement, Uber will offer customers the option of a May Mobility AV on the Uber platform on qualifying trips.

May Mobility will provide a fleet of American-made, hybrid-electric Toyota Sienna Autono-MaaS vehicles equipped with May Mobility’s patented Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology.

The first deployment will launch with onboard safety operators before transitioning to driverless.

Following the initial launch in Arlington, Uber and May Mobility intend to expand to additional US markets in 2026.
