Uber has partnered with Hertz to create a new affiliate called Oro Mobility that will handle cleaning, charging, and maintenance for its Lucid Motors robotaxi fleet. This represents a strategic move to outsource fleet management operations as Uber scales its autonomous vehicle ambitions. The partnership leverages Hertz's existing infrastructure and expertise in vehicle fleet operations.
