Soon your Uber could be a self-driving car [Video]

Your Uber may soon be without a driver — but that’s the point.

The rideshare company has partnered with autonomous car company Cruise to bring its self-driving cars to the Uber platform.

The companies plan to launch their partnership in 2025, with a batch of Chevy Bolt-based autonomous vehicles from Cruise.

Next year, customers requesting a qualifying ride may see an option to fulfill the drive with a Cruise autonomous vehicle. They can choose to select it or a standard ride with a driver.

“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,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a press release. “We’re thrilled to partner with Cruise and look forward to launching next year.”
