The companies plan to launch the partnership next year with a dedicated number of Chevy Bolt-based autonomous vehicles. Once launched, when an Uber rider requests a qualifying ride on the Uber app, they may be presented with the option to have that trip fulfilled by a Cruise autonomous vehicle.

“Cruise is on a mission to leverage driverless technology to create safer streets and redefine urban life," said Marc Whitten, CEO of Cruise. "We are excited to partner with Uber to bring the benefits of safe, reliable, autonomous driving to even more people, unlocking a new era of urban mobility."

“As the largest mobility and delivery platform, we believe Uber can play an important role in helping to safely and reliably introduce autonomous technology to consumers and cities around the world,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber CEO. “We’re thrilled to partner with Cruise and look forward to launching next year.”

By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.
