Uber Cuts 3,300 Jobs as It Doubles Down on Robotaxis

Uber has announced a significant workforce reduction, letting go of approximately 3,300 employees—amounting to 10% of its global staff. The move is part of a strategic shake-up aimed at streamlining operations by flattening management structures and reallocating resources toward core business areas. The company is prioritizing its ridesharing, delivery, and autonomous vehicle initiatives, which it sees as key drivers of future growth. This restructuring underlines Uber’s commitment to advancing its robotaxi ambitions while maintaining financial discipline. Although layoffs are never easy, the company believes these changes will position it more competitively in the rapidly evolving mobility landscape.
