Robotaxi Expansion — London & Munich 2026
Uber is launching robotaxi services in London and Munich in 2026. "As a Data Scientist, I analyze autonomous vehicle performance data — safety metrics, rider satisfaction, route efficiency — alongside human-driven trip data. My analyses determine whether and how robotaxis scale beyond London and Munich. This comparative analysis (autonomous vs human) exists nowhere else at city scale."
