About the Role
The AM&D (Autonomous Mobility & Delivery) team owns the autonomous future of Uber's Rides and Eats business, which is one of Uber's most important bets as a public company that sets the world in motion. Our goal is to eventually enable mass-scale AV commercialization globally in all 10000+ cities Uber operates. We are just getting started.
As we gradually but surely move towards this future, there are a full spectrum of engineering challenges that need to be tackled. Specifically:
- How do we make sure Uber's customers, from riders, to eaters to merchants can have safe, informative and magical experiences with Uber without human driver interaction?
- How do we drive AV adoptions with informative, trustworthy and exciting experiences?
- How do we make sure a rider's autonomous ride share experience is still safe, informative and trustworthy without a human driver to interact with? From pickup, to on trip to drop off.
