Uber adds a Chinese company to its growing robotaxi stable.

Momenta will deploy its autonomous vehicles on Uber’s ridehailing platform starting in 2026, initially with safety drivers on board. For availability, Uber is only saying they’ll be in “international markets outside of the US and China.”

Momenta has received investment funding from a number of noteworthy supporters, including China’s state-owned SAIC Motor, GM, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and Bosch. Meanwhile, Uber has robotaxi deals with (deep breath) May Mobility, Waymo, Motional, Avride, WeRide, and Volkswagen for self-driving cars, and Serve, Cartken, and Nuro for delivery robots.
