Uber, Momenta to begin self-driving testing in Munich next year
Uber and China-based self-driving tech firm Momenta announced plans on Monday to test level 4 autonomous vehicles in Germany next year, as the ride-hailing platform seeks to expand its robotaxi footprint amid rising competition.
Autonomous vehicles classified as level 4 can drive without human intervention in specific zones and under certain conditions.
Uber has been attempting to establish a strong foothold in the robotaxi industry through partnerships with companies including Alphabet’s Waymo, Lucid and WeRide as Tesla also expands its nascent autonomous taxi services.
