In a significant departure from its asset-light gig economy model, Uber has pledged $10 billion to acquire at least 35,000 robo-taxis from Lucid Motors, positioning itself for a future in autonomous ride-hailing. This strategic shift aims to bolster revenue amid declining share prices, as analysts foresee a 50% growth over the next five years.
