Inc. (NYSE:UBER) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi highlighted the key factors influencing the growth of autonomous vehicles.\nSpeaking at the World Economic Forum, Davos, on Tuesday, Khosrowshahi emphasized the critical role of affordability in the expansion of autonomous vehicles. He noted that the current cost of these vehicles is “well over” $100,000. \nThe CEO added that many autonomous vehicles on the road today lack the computing capacity required to meet safety standards, and he expects their deployment to remain relatively limited over the next three to five years.\nKhosrowshahi estimated that it will take 10 to 20 years for autonomous vehicles to become a “significant part” of the ride-hailing business, particularly outside high-fare markets such as the United States and Europe.\nHe also voiced strong confidence in the safety of autonomous drivers, predicting that within a decade, human drivers could be viewed as riskier than robotic ones. The CEO further warned of economic disruption, saying robot drivers are likely to cause a “gradual job displacement” in driving and information technology as automation expands.\nUber has been actively involved in the development and implementation of autonomous vehicles. In December 2025, the company announced the launch of its robotaxi service in Dallas, a move seen as a significant step towards integrating autonomous vehicles into its ride-hailing business.\nThe company has also been working on improving the technology behind its autonomous vehicles. In January 2026, the company renewed its partnership with TomTom to enhance its routing and location services. This partnership aimed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of Uber’s autonomous vehicles, addressing some of the concerns raised by Khosrowshahi.\nDespite the challenges, the future of autonomous vehicles looks promising. Following the announcement of Nvidia’s Alpamayo AI platform in January 2026, Uber’s stock responded positively. This development was seen as a significant step in addressing the concerns around the obsolescence of Uber’s autonomous vehicle technology.\nBenzinga's Edge Rankings place Uber in the 93rd percentile for growth and the 40th percentile for momentum, reflecting its mixed performance.
