The Dawn of Autonomous Vehicles: Rivian, Uber, and the Future of Robo Taxis
The landscape of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is shifting rapidly from a mere science experiment to a thriving business sector. Leading the charge are two industry giants—Rivian and Uber—each taking distinct approaches to shaping the future of robo taxis and self-driving cars. While Rivian invests heavily in developing the core technology, Uber capitalizes on building a comprehensive network to connect these vehicles and facilitate their deployment at scale. Their strategies reveal a broader industry trend: a move toward commercialization, profitability, and integrated ecosystems.
