Uber and Momenta to launch Robotaxi trials in Munich
Uber Technologies and Chinese company Momenta announced the launch of a partnership to test Level 4 autonomous vehicles in Germany. Munich has been chosen as the first city for the trials, Kazinform News Agency reports.
According to the statement, the partnership will integrate Momenta’s AI-driven autonomous driving technology into Uber’s global platform, aiming to deliver a safe, scalable, and efficient Robotaxi service in Europe and beyond.
“Testing L4 autonomous vehicles in Munich allows us to showcase how Momenta’s AI-driven Robotaxi technology can transform urban mobility, as a new chapter in the region’s rich automotive heritage,” said Xudong Cao, CEO of Momenta.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized that Germany has shaped the global automotive industry for more than a century, and now Munich will help define the future of transportation through autonomous technologies.
Momenta already partners with leading German automakers, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and its driver assistance systems are installed in more than 400,000 vehicles. In China, the company has launched a Robotaxi service in Shanghai and plans to begin commercial operations without onboard safety operators by the end of this year.
Uber and Momenta signed a strategic agreement in May 2025 to introduce autonomous vehicles to the Uber platform in international markets outside the United States and China.
Earlier, it was reported that Saudi Arabia has launched its first operational trial of self-driving vehicles in Riyadh.
