Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) is pushing back against proposed U.S. autonomous vehicle rules that could support fully driverless robotaxis and benefit rivals such as Waymo, promoting a mixed model that combines human drivers and autonomous vehicles on the same platform. Uber's robotaxi collaboration with Waymo in Phoenix has recently ended, as federal regulators increase scrutiny on autonomous vehicle safety. The company has joined the Overture Maps Foundation to contribute real time mobility data for open mapping used in AI and autonomous systems, and is expanding beyond rides and delivery into hotel bookings, boat rentals, AV Labs, and potential new financial services. Uber enters this phase with its share price at $74.26; the stock is up 2.5% over the past week and 7.9% over the past month, while returns are down 10.4% year to date and down 20.9% over the past year, with returns over 3 and 5 years at 63.2% and 63.0%. Profit margins at 15.9% are lower than the 27.1% level cited previously.
