    Uber has committed more than $10bn over the past year through equity stakes and robotaxi fleet agreements to make up lost ground after selling its in-house AV arm in 2020. Uber stock down 16% YTD, fell 4% on Waymo split news.

In New Jersey, Uber proposed 85% of rides be human-driven during 3-year pilot. Analysts say this would force dedicated-app AV companies (Tesla, Waymo, Zoox) to use third-party ride-hailing apps.
